I came across this article about the recent Salt Lake City Council budget amendment that includes money for the city to monitor STRs via some type of software.

I think if you search student rentals many issues cross state lines.

One avenue I would take is reaching out to these brokers and invite them to coffee stating you are looking to get into and learn the business, and would love to learn how they got started.

And stating that you *will* increase rent beyond what's allowed under state law is probably inviting a headache you don't want to deal with.Good luck!

I don't know the area at all, but even more importantly, I can't imagine I have the same investment goals as you.At the end of the day, you are not sharing what state this land is in, let alone what town.  

I use Avail for my state specific lease.

Just an alternative thought, depending on the state you are located in, would it make sense to open an LLC for the management of your rentals? 

It’s not perfect but it does offer State by State leases and the ability to collect payments easily.

I’ve bought and managed a lot of properties in various states.

I use these:LEPOWER LED Security Lights Motion Sensor Light Outdoor, 38W 4200LM Light, 5500K, IP65 Waterproof, 3 Head Detected Flood for Garage, Yard, Porch (White) - Amazon.comWhen flipping out of state I go Simpli Safe.When it comes to local flips I have a home security contracting company that has their own alarm system and app that I really like so I use them but they are local to Cleveland.
