I'm looking to buy a house in the St Pete market & have read zoning regulations, articles about STR (anything less than 30 days) and have discussed with my realtor.  

I don’t believe any jurisdiction is getting more lax on STR regulation.

I've painted more walls, ceilings and trim work than I could ever count in my lifetime and *I* suck compared to professional painters, and most of my paint jobs could pass for lower-end professional jobs. 

You lose all of the control and these are long term investments - but in my experience the returns match what I had on the active real estate and I am hiring professionals to manage the assets.  

As others have stated, there are Income discrimination laws in Kansas City so if you are an investor with rental properties in this city, make sure you understand the regulations. 

They are investing with a professional who has helped thousands of people start their journey to financial freedom.  

@Steven Catudali don't understand the value that he is bringing... those are all just items you can pay a professional for. 

I’m not sure all of the regulations/rules to this in PA though.

If you are broke and trying to quit your job asap, the answer will be much different than what an acceptable answer would be for a professional investor who is a multimillionaire.

I found this property through my network of local real estate professionals.
