Define the intended use
Once you know the intended use, ask how many leases are permitted each year, whether owner occupancy is restricted and whether management must go through a designated operator. A thirty-day minimum allows monthly leasing; it does not allow nightly stays.
Marketing does not settle the rules
Words such as “flexible rentals” do not answer every requirement. Review the governing condominium documents, the classification of the exact unit, local rules, required licences and the operating agreement if there is one. Miami Beach, for example, publishes its own short-term rental restrictions and requirements; an advertised approval for a building is not proof that every buyer can operate every unit immediately.
Rules can differ within one development
Townhomes and tower residences can be described differently. If one source says “no minimum” and another “three nights minimum”, treat the conflict as a question to resolve in the documents, not as a choice of the more attractive wording.
Compare the whole operating model
Management fees, guest services, owner-use limits, furnishing standards and replacement costs all change the result. Ask for the documents before relying on a revenue illustration.
