...so, it's illegal to do it, but it's also illegal for the gov. to investigate who's doing it... a very weird dynamic.Needless to say, there are tons of STR listings, despite them being illegal. ...I've heard that the only time an STR gets shut down here is when the neighbors complain to the city......it will be interesting to see how the STR space evolves over the coming years...

The real estate market is always changing and evolving.  

Rapidly evolving in many Poconos townshipsTourism Driven markets so they won't ban Airbnbs -> not true.

I don't think I've seen anyone on this site have a good experience with Vacasa/Evolve/Turnkey. 

And that's not even mentioning how disruptive and disrespectful some STR guests have become, nor the constantly evolving and restrictive rules imposed by the STR platform, nor the fact that we're at a market maximum in terms of valuation, nor the fact that I don't plan to stay in California much longer.With all that said, if I was a whale planning to stay in California I'd spend the money to fix it up, combine the 2 top floor units to make it a 2/2 master suite, reinforce the roof structure and add easier access from inside because the flat roof has a 180 degree panoramic view of downtown from the Coronado Bridge to Balboa Park.
