Personally CA scares me. But I am in FL, and Im sure that scares others, but I am not just talking about natural disasters - just general over-regulation. What is drawing you to that specific location?
Thank you for asking, this helps me re-think. Here are a few things that come to mind. I’m naturally inclined toward this area because it’s within driving distance of major west Coast cities (L.A., San Diego, and others)—making it feel like a “natural” choice for a regional traveller wanting to get away for a short weekend. Due to Coachella, I am guessing there is active tourism. What I am trying to understand is after Coachella ends, would it still have the strong recurring demand/occupancy for STRs?
There is some future Infrastructure improvements taking place, which can/cannot impact the property ROI.

Thank you Michael. Appreciate your input.

$1633 for a yearly license?!?! Whew.
There are a lot of regs, but at least they are well defined.
I read the permitting process and it seems somewhat strict.
Things that jump out to me are unpermitted changes so make sure everything is on the up and up.

Hello everyone,
I am analyzing the Indio, CA market as a short term rental investment and we'd love to speak to someone who is self managing their own vacation rental.
My questions:
- Looking to understand pain points of operating in Indio that you wished you had known
- Besides the music festival in April, is there frequent tourism ensuring you are making the annual CoC ?
- would you consider the regulation/permit process strict or lenient ?
Thank you so much

Hi,
I'm in the process of learning about short-term rental investments and analyzing potential markets, but I’ve hit a major roadblock: understanding local regulations. It seems like every city, county, and state has its own rules, permits, and tax requirements for short-term rentals, and I’m finding it overwhelming to navigate all the different layers of compliance.
For example, some places require business licenses, transient occupancy tax permits, or even special zoning approvals. Others have caps on how many nights a property can be rented or outright bans on certain types of rentals. 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?
- - Are there specific tools, resources, or methods you use to simplify the regulation process?
- - Any tips for staying updated on regulation changes?
Thank you so much

Hey Reeti! Love that your listening to Avery's audiobook.
Are you looking for an STR in the Bay Area as well, or open to other areas of CA, other states too?
Hi @Savannah Holzer, I'd like to start with california and spread out to central if the CoC turns out with low returns. Would you have any suggestions outside CA with a low entry/purchase price and high rents ? Thanks so much

Quote from @Samuel Diouf:
When doing research on potential areas to invest in, I would first decide whether you want appreciation, cashflow, or a mix of both. If you want cashflow.. look for markets with low entry prices and higher rent averages. If you want appreciation, identify markets with expanding industries, positive growth trends, and bright economic forecasts.
Thank you @Samuel Diouf. To confirm I understand what you meant, if I wanted the cashflow, did you mean look for markets where the purchase price is low and high rental rates ? Any suggestions here in or outside of Cali?

Welcome @Reeti Peshawaria! I have a colleague who specializes in the Yosemite market on STR, not sure if that would be an area of interest for you. Happy to make an introduction :)
