Generally, the islands and the City of Sarasota remain open to STRs, but there is growing pushback. 

Talk with your Accountant but generally it is recommended you don't pay yourself payroll inside your Self Storage. 

@Bat-Erdene ChagnaaGiven Seattle's every changing lovely landlord laws I'd recommend getting to know https://www.rhawa.org/They have great information and forms for you to use.

Just like the recommend when I need funding I use CiX.com and don't go through lenders from the "Discussion" board.

We listed on Apartments.com for their management tools (saw it recommended in a thread on here).

If you want to be over 200 doors you may want something you can grow into. 

I asked what they paid for it and they said $4,000 - I asked what DD did you do and they said the county tax value was $6,000 so I was getting a deal… I asked him if he was a Gardener as maybe grow some veggies on it but other than that it’s useless and no one will buy it

For me, who is on hte podcast has ZERO impact on my business and the benefits of a paid subscription for BP assist me in growing my business - and I make these decisions based on the business and not on emotions or my feelings. 

If they insist on taking you to court, get your documentation together, demonstrate the damages they caused, let the court know you offered a full refund, and hope the court has mercy on you and doesn't charge you the full three months.If you want to avoid problems like this in the future, I recommend you start educating yourself on how to follow the law and handle problems.

Overall, If you come with the attitude of this being a long term investment, that will grow over time, then you'll do great.
