I manage on Oahu in Hawaii and I would assume based on things that I have heard from other hosts and managers in CA that the conversation around regulation would be somewhat similar given that it is a highly desirable destination for both guests and investors in the STR space.Speaking only to what I have experience with here - there seem to be three types of zones that vacation rentals fall into - on one hand you have zones where they are illegal, and while it is possible to run and gun in these areas I don't think the risk is worth the reward if you get caught.

It's set to open in 2026 - I think that will be big for that area and short-term rentals.

They may come up but understand that rental rates are generally well below market (hence the discount) and these deals are largely off-market if you're able to find them.

Hampton Roads is indeed a unique market with its military presence, providing a steady rental demand and some interesting investment opportunities.Looking forward to learning and connecting with you too!

Hi everyone thank you for hopping in briefly, I just wanted to depict how I entered the business of short-term/vacation rental.

As an out of state investor, I made the decision to pull my equity out as construction costs in the area are incredibly high with limited availability right now.I completely agree that luxury rentals would be my prime target for a 1031.

Depending on credit history and how the property would perform from a rental income standpoint you may have access to up to 85% financing on an investment property 1-4 unit purchase. 

.- thanks -  pay towards the 2 loans the same way ...look to refinance  when and if rate drop ...if interested in buying more rentals - consider saving these  funds to use for your next purchase ...there are many great amoartization calculators avaiable for free that you can use to review scenarios 

Reference Testimonial: - Positive feedback from a reference named Paul who took a loan for rentals.4.

Those 4 tend to be the most popular sites for mid term rental listings.
