Quote from @Sherylyn Holden: I posted awhile back about the new short term rental rules in San Antonio here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1200417-new-...Wanted to share a brief update on my experience and some other helpful notes:The city is getting serious about these rules.

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license? 

One thing I often see lacking from the search criteria is client experience.

Direct booking website, highly attentive to guests needs and experiences and consistently enhance the property during ownership.
