Why did Airbnb buy a building in Charleston if the city restricted it?

A claim that Airbnb itself purchased a specific Charleston building to get around local rules is not something a public record confirms, so it should not be treated as fact. Cities set their own rules for which homes can legally operate as short-term rentals, and those rules can change street by street and year by year. Anyone counting on rental income from a Charleston property should verify its current legal status directly rather than relying on a secondhand story. Brian Beatty can check a specific address's rental history and current standing before a buyer counts on that income.
