Motels run as STRs??

[Will Pritchett]

I am a long-term rental investor considering a group of about ten cabins that are being run as a motel. Are there any limits on the listing platforms regarding what type of property can be listed? This place seems too small for on-site staff but I've never stayed in a place set up like this that was listed on Air BnB, VRBO, etc. They also don't have kitchens which is uncommon for BnBs that I've seen. I don't know if motel type properties are disallowed as they are somewhat the competition for the STR model. It is currently run by a resident owner/manager that lives on site. Switching models seems like it could bring efficiencies into play and increase cash flow through automation.

I appreciate any and all feedback.

Hotels are really just old-school multifamily STR. If you need Airbnb to help your marketing so be it.
