Looking to buy the first short term rental in Sacramento

[Hui Kiang]

Hi everyone,

I'm researching and aim to get my first rental in Sacramento area or 30 min drive radius - I'd like to try AirBnB to max ROI. My timeline is in the next 6 months. Can anyone recommend a good area for AirBnB or share your experience how to get started if you've done that? Thanks in advance!

Hi Hui! The laws of Sacramento county are pretty strict when it comes to STR, they state: "The short-term rental must remain an accessory use to your full-time occupancy. Under no circumstance shall the short-term rental services become the primary use of the property."

So it will be tough to find an area that you can do it fully permitted here.
