However, if rent control is too restrictive, it will chase housing providers out of the city.

We wanted to start in Anaheim being so close to Disney and LA and Hollywood and all that but there's so many restrictions.

The current area we are living in is very expensive (Boerne, TX) and is a heavily deed restricted region.

What a great town.Check out - https://www.cityhs.net/1265/Short-term-Rental-InformationShould have some rules and regs for you to peruse.I will say that lakefront is often restricted or banned for STRs there.

My main concern is that someone  told me that there are HOAs whose rules are so restrictive that people who bought lots found they couldn't even build.

You want a ratio of 1 to 1, anything higher is more restrictive and can mean you will get less money then you are after. 3.

I verified with the city and investors can add them with meters on single-family homes as long as there are no deed restrictions.

To do this, you need to make sure and find designers/contractors that have built many ADUs and can properly determine what your full required scope will be.Also, jurisdictions are tightening their interpretation of ADU rules, and we're finding MANY more plan check comments are coming back for items not previously requested.

Right now, as I said in an another thread months ago, once the rate cut is near the small cap: large cap ratio will tighten.

Also depending on if you want to stay in Clearwater or not there are also some local restrictions on STR.
