Scenario:

You’re an Executive Assistant exploring potential short-term rental (STR) properties in Summit County, Colorado (focusing on the Breckenridge area). Your executive is considering purchasing one of the following properties for STR use, but you need to determine feasibility under Summit County/Breckenridge regulations:

1. 53 Blue Ridge Rd, Breckenridge, CO 80424
2. 505 Village Rd #42, Breckenridge, CO 80424
3. 227 Mountain View Dr, Blue River, CO 80424

Your Task:

1. STR License Feasibility
   • Can we obtain a short-term rental license for each of the three properties under current Summit County rules?
   • Outline any key constraints or limits that might prevent licensing.
   • If one or more properties fall under separate local jurisdictions (e.g., Blue River’s local ordinance vs. Breckenridge city rules), note the differences.
2. Maximum Occupancy
   • If possible to short-term rent, what is the total occupancy we could legally advertise for the eligible properties?
   • Summarize any relevant regulations (e.g., bedroom count, septic limitations, town ordinances).
3. Expanding Occupancy
   • If we want to increase the legal occupancy limit, what steps or improvements might we need to consider (e.g., adding bedrooms, upgrading septic systems, obtaining different permits)?
   • Identify any major challenges or costs associated with this.
4. Summary Email
   • Draft a short, concise email or Google Doc to the executive summarizing your findings for each property. Indicate which one(s) you believe are the most viable based on licensing requirements, occupancy limits, and potential expansion. Keep it clear, professional, and to the point.

Guidelines & Tips

• Spend about 60 minutes on this. We want to see how you think.
• Cite any sources you use briefly (e.g., official county websites, local news articles, etc.) so we can follow up if needed.
• Present your findings in a structured format (bullet points, short paragraphs, headings, etc.) that’s easy to follow.
• Show us critical thinking: Are you identifying key details, drawing logical conclusions, and providing actionable advice?
