A detective told me they couldn't keep the case open because there wasn't a clause in the rental agreement that said: "All items are not to be removed from the home."  

Quote from @Steve Englehart: I currently have two long term rentals and am looking into buying into the short term rental arena.  

Is this for mid term rentals?

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $435,000 Primary residence converted to a rental after 2 years.

LA City here~How do you market your rental to insurance companies directly for temporary home placement?

I’m considering tapping into this equity to fund future fix-and-flip projects or even purchase another rental property.My questions are:Do you think leveraging the equity in my properties is a smart move for real estate investments?

Airbnb is considered STR (short-term rental).

The interest on the rental is an offset to rental income, and is by definition deducted from your taxes.A 4% interest rate on a primary is like a 4.88% after rate for a taxpayer in the 22% federal tax bracket, or higher if in a state with state income taxes. 

What I find to be most valuable: Ease of use, cost-savings and efficiency and here's what I mean: If using an interior designer to furnish your rental, they will hand you a list of supplies + furniture to buy and what I was able to do with Minoan is upload that list as a CSV file and then they come back with a quote of all of the items they can fulfill along with their respective discount. 

I completely agree that luxury rentals need to offer more than just aesthetic appeal; they need to resonate with tenant expectations and justify the premium rents.
