#1 If you're getting a loan, understand the Financing Rules
Condominiums that allow Airbnb have different financing rules and will probably not qualify for a traditional conventional loan (Fannie or Freddie), or require a larger down payment. Speaking with your lender before you start looking at properties is a must.
#2 Condo-Hotels or “condotel”
Condo-Hotels are a great option since the buildings are designed and operated already for short-term. If you need financing Condo-Hotels are very difficult and almost impossible to finance. Most buyers purchase in cash. These properties also may have specific rules if you want to self-manage your unit instead of using the hotel's management program.
#3 Consider New Construction
Many new developers are now building condos that allow short-term rentals/Airbnb as part of the amenities of the building. Benefits of buying pre-construction allows you to get in early at developer "early-bird" pricing and you get to pick exactly which unit and floor.
#4 Miami Beach is zoning is NOT favorable for Airbnb
There are only certain areas that are zoned for a period less than six (6) months. Most condo buildings are not eligible for financing. If you want a STR in South Beach be prepared with cash.
