Now take short-term AirBnB properties like one of mine in Miami.

When a rental is taken out of service for personal use the accumulated depreciation goes away over a short period of time. 

Thanks, I'm looking to get into short term or long term rentals for starters.

Hi @Nicholas L. and @Chris Seveney a few weeks after my post, they did a part 2 for the survey and 2 days ago, the Zoning Dept. emailed out an update for the proposed policies.Here's their message:"We want to keep you informed and share a preview of the proposed Short-Term Residential Rental Ordinance regulations and express our gratitude for your invaluable feedback and participation in Phase I and Phase II of the Alexandria Short-Term Residential Rental Study.

Been doing wholesaling off and on with little success but hopefully more time to devote to that shortly.

To list a few...Anyone who wants to increase their property’s income potential (and equity) and build new housing in a market that struggles with high prices, low supply, and few new construction.House hackers who live in their primary and want to airbnb an ADU love this strategy or vice versaInvestors who want to do both long term and short term benefit from having two separate units.Rental Restrictions on ADUs.Thankfully, Raleigh is very STR friendly and ADU friendly right now.

(c) Minimum front yard: 30 feet distance from front property line to building.

Ultimately, the decision should align with your long-term and short-term goals.

There is no seasoning requirement involved since the property isn't a short sale and it isn't someone buying REO from a bank with a seasoning requirement.

Very informative, short period of time.
