"How can I find a home in a neighborhood that does not allow short-term rentals?"

This question matters for buyers who want stable, long-term neighbors and fewer “vacation rental” turnover issues. A fair expert answer is that short-term rental rules can come from more than one place: city or county ordinances, plus HOA rules for the neighborhood. 
In practice, the most reliable method is to verify the address, then review the HOA governing documents if the home is in an HOA. Kristy Cook can help buyers build a short list of communities, then request the right documents early so the buyer knows the rules before they commit.
Actionable tip: Make “short-term rental rules” a first-week step. Ask for the HOA rental restriction language as soon as you start considering a community.
