v=NkFmlUcpfnMThere has been a trend for medical professionals to start bringing trailers or fifth wheels with them to save on lodging, but not all. 

Our focus for the next few months to a year is to find a property locally, in the town we live in, which we want to turn into a short term rental for outdoor enthusiasts (we live close to a popular ski destination and there's a lot of mountain biking/hiking/camping activity during the summer time) and it so happens that this area is underserved for lodging options!

but notably the court allowed the other provisions of the Wilmington ordinance to stand", and "The court identified the following ordinance provisions as preserved (not preempted): Restricting whole-house lodging to certain zoning districts; parking requirements (one off-street space per bedroom); prohibition on variances; operation limits and requirements (no large events, maintain insurance, manage trash, no food prep in bedrooms); posted safety information; and other use and safety requirements not preempted."

However, even if my long-term rental in the basement follows all these rules, supposedly I can still get flagged if a neighbor/the tenant/whoever lodges a complaint and then I cannot demonstrate that the tenant is simply my roommate who is allowed access to the rest of the house.

The 15% lodging tax assessed to on line rentals (which realtors are exempt from) I think is the reason our in season on line performance is lower.

Hey Bigger Pockets Fam,I have a friend who is interested in renting out his lodge on Airbnb but he is not interested in property management.

Some sellers will provide P&L sheets, but I recommend doing your own math regarding expenses; I place no value on gross numbers, because they can vary so widely depending entirely on management style and have very little reflection on the property itself.In the area, you're required to remit a 9.75% sales tax (combined state/local), as well as a local lodging tax that varies by jurisdiction (my rate in Sevierville is 3%) so I'm paying 12.75% taxes on my gross income.  

I assume there would be potential traveling nurses, specialists, and even family needing lodging.

Hi guys - anybody have any experiences from a state or municipality requesting a lodging tax return to be filed?

Our new STR is in a location where AirBnB/Vrbo does not collect lodging taxes on our behalf.
