It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when researching multiple markets.Would greatly appreciate any advice/insights from experienced investors who've navigated these challenges :- How do you approach understanding and evaluating short-term rental regulations when considering a new market?

Im going to get in and doing my research also

If you haven't already, you should research the stats on Furnished Finder to see how many people are looking for a midterm rental, how many units are currently available and the configuration and prices hosts are offering.

I will say it was disclosed to us in a fine print email, but it was definitely not clearly told to us and many people are migrating away because we have our direct sites listed as fee free and they no longer would be.I did extensive research last year when signing up and Hostfully was my runner up and that’s why I am switching to them.

I have done extensive research in the risks, how to structure such deals to mitigate those risks as effectively as possible, and legal considerations of each strategy. 

You'd have to do the research locally, market by market, to determine who the players are.

I have my heart set on real estate investing and have been researching every free second I can.

Many investors on this platform are working to get over paralysis by analysis and they like to dig in and do their research before reaching out.I’ll admit, I’ve slacked a bit on BiggerPockets lately, but I have plenty of content on other platforms and websites.

I've researched Angier and Graham near the San Antonio area.

@Patricia Smith Even if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
