I use Proper insurance, unwritten by Lloyds of London, for my STR - covers the extra issues you would expect from an STR like vandalism, alcohol liabilities, business interruption up $10k, hot-tub cooties etc.

cool, considering 1 IN 3 AMERICANS has or has had an alcohol abuse disorder!

The cost to move a business as well as to file for Alcoholic Beverage Control's license and permitting process will take time and cost them money.  

I have a tenant who is an alcoholic.

Plus people need to get away and relax more when times are bad, that's why alcohol sales always go way up during tough times.....

Note to self, add alcohol and cigarettes to the list.....:)

This particular property is owned by a local alcohol and recovery organization.

Real estate wasn't even a thing on my mind.. just girls and alcohol.

While shutting down some businesses and social distancing has no doubt reduced transmission, slowed the progression, and reduced the number of lives lost, the second and third order effects of all the shutdowns and isolation is taking many more lives from things such as suicide, drug overdose, alcohol abuse, delayed testing/treatment for other life-threatening conditions etc.

The first unit I looked at was occupied by an 18 year old who didn't bother putting his alcohol or crack pipe away for us.
