I used this web site to better understand the Massachusetts STR regulations when they were first passed and my rentals are not located on the Cape or the Islands. 

"Specialized" is a regulated word by the State Board of Legal Specialization. 

However, after I dug a little deeper, it seems like the regulations, fees, and overall bureaucracy would make this market difficult to thrive in.

If you use a Security Deposit, the law regulates what you can do with it.

The problem is that nobody can predict depreciation so it's more of a gamble, particularly in a state like California where a governor or City council can destroy the market with their heavy-handed regulations. 

Here is my take.Security Deposit: If your regulations allow, I would push for security deposit that equals rent. 

I have never heard of a law regulating the naming of a building.

That puts you ahead of most people.A couple questions that immediately come to mind for me:1) What are the zoning regulations for the property?

Oregon will bring lower cash flow and more regulations.

I happen to be for some regulation but my intellectual soul is beyond annoyed at the arguments from neighborhood groups.
