Regs can run the gamut:  STR licenses are unlimited and available immediately with no restrictions, STRs can only be rented so many nights/ stays a year, STRs can only be in designated areas, the number of STRs are capped and there is a waitlist for a license.As others have mentioned, typically an unregulated STR will have more revenue than a LTR, but it will require more consistent work and effort.  

We jointly took part in the design phase, and they got what they wanted and I got what I wanted.

That's a well-designed portfolio from a geographical diversification standpoint. 

Other empty drugstores are becoming plasma collection centers, thrift stores, and car washes.While repurposing drugstores can be challenging, especially when dealing with building design and community concerns, their prime locations make them ideal for creative reuse.

I know out this way we have to design our project for 100 year storm events.

Or is it a binary designation?

Built in 1890, this Old Victorian was converted into a duplex in the 70's by a talented architect who made some unique and extraordinary custom design choices (read Vaulted Sunlights) that make this property truly one of a kind.

For both tenant and landlord peace of mind, the property had an extensive video surveillance and security DVR system already installed by the prior owner, which covers outdoor areas and indoor common areas and records 24/7/365, as well as sensors for excess dB noise levels.

A new pool and "instagramable" design updates should increase demand and pricing, but it’s all about how that’s being communicated to potential guests.

I have 3 apts and I started out with furnished rentals as I am an Interior Designer.
