Quote from @Madhu Ponnada:

Jason - Austin city, understand its not STR friendly and have lot of restrictions from City regulations. Is that not the case?

There are regs, but not enforced. You can get away with full time STRs there without a permit as long as you do it right and don’t draw attention. We have one full time STR in Austin, and know many many others that have one or several - none have permits and no issues.

I know a lot of people that run STRs without licenses without issue - i.e. there is seemingly not much enforcement. Anyone know if that is predicted to change?

Also, if its easier to get a STR license when you are owner occupied, what happens if you do that and then buy another place (which you move into) - can you still renew the license on the original place?

Hi Joe,

How is it going with your STR? We are just looking at putting an offer on a 'bnb' as they call it (meaning its been STR before and has the permits) - curious to hear from others about their experience.

Hi all, my wife and I just moved back to the US after a long stint overseas, landing in Austin TX. I'll be working somewhat quickly to build a network and do a deal or three this year: contractors, lenders, realtors, etc.

Not sure my strategy yet, but thinking of SF, rehab, and hold; perhaps BRRRR.

Would love to meet some folks near me doing this, feel free to reach out.
