Questions: Is that would be a regulated activity, so he would need to obtain a permission from his broker to do that?

@Julie McCoy @Ethan Cooke @Sam Shueh I am diving into local zoning regulations and meeting with the City Development office and attending Planning and Zoning meetings. 

Reg CF offerings are available only on a funding portal that has been approved by FINRA (http://www.finra.org/about/funding-portals-we-regulate).

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a city or town in Florida that regulates against a weekly rental,  but you will find a lot of HOAs that are against it, so I would look at your most popular places, check the local regulations, then when you start looking for property check the Association rules. 

Hi All,I run Airbnbs in Chicago (about 25 Airbnb's at the moment) and will be flying to Texas next monthDallas May 17th to 20thAustin May 20th to 23rdI wanted to see if anyone out there who is currently managing Airbnb's out there would like to meet up for coffee where we can exchange idea's/strategies.I can offer education systems, software's, automation that helped me scale to 25 units in a short timeIn return i would like to learn about laws and regulations, neighborhood, revenue potential etc.I did a similar post for Miami and met some really cool people!

In addition to due diligence and down payment, you will have to pay legal fees to properly form the corporate structure in compliance with securities regulations.

What do you think :-/  Would appreciate hearing your input on HOA regulations, pros and cons of this scenario, and any other productive points.

Kevin:[Caveat:  My hands-on experience is in a cold environment where much of the year the conditioned space of a building it being heated.  

I am looking for a place, most likely in Scotts Valley, that will be able to accommodate everyone and provide a good environment for talking.

Read the state landlord tenant regulations.
