They are much less restrictive than other municipalities in South Florida that are actively trying to reduce the number of STRs.Let me know if you'd like to talk further on the topic! 

When you own a couple of units, the odds of there being unexpected vacancies that overlap each other are usually low, but when you acquire more and more real estate, the odds of tenants moving out around similar times increases. 

To succeed, focus on properties in high-demand neighborhoods like Pecan Grove or Aliana, and ensure your cash flow analysis accounts for high property taxes, potential HOA restrictions, and flood insurance costs.

If we become heavily restricted, what chance does the rest of the DMV have to get their own regulations that make sense?

But, there may be restrictions in the mortgage.

If everyone took the cash for keys approach, then the odds of a LL getting such a tenant increases.I have never had to do a cash for keys.  

Certain neighborhoods do not allow STR so be sure to check the restrictions when looking.

no question a long term lease does restrict exit.  

I find it odd that this isn't a more standardized practice.

Important things to look for: if you want to STR (you will make more this way) then no rental restrictions, if you plan to MTR, 30 day min works, anything longer doesn't.
