Buying a home for a rental can help protect you against price inflation. We have two kinds of rentals. Long term rentals and vacation rentals. The Arizona Governor recently signed a new law (SB1350) making short term rentals legal and blocking any city or county restrictions. This does not however change any HOA/POA or CC&R restrictions on short term rentals. Most of the city of Sedona is not within an HOA but they do exist. If a vacation rental is something that interests you, you may want to start with our Sedona NO HOA home search. Vacation rentals can be quite lucrative.
The Sedona market has a shortage of long term rentals. Long term rentals (6 months +) in Sedona tend to provide a more stable income and fewer tenant issues. Long term rentals are fine in an HOA community as well. Rental prices have sharply risen with the demand.
