Or a host of other occupations that my medical condition precludes. 

As a host here in Florida i would always make sure to have an umbrella policy that covers personal liability if something happens.

For out-of-state STRs investors, is it normal for a cohost / property manager to insist on creating an OTA listing on their account to better streamline their systems? Seems like a potential issue if I stop working wi...

The cost to "evict" may actually be 1/20th since 'stuff' doesn't have tenant's rights the way a residential tenant does, but the entire other basked of 'stuff' to deal with seems like it might be closer to 1/2 or 75% of the 'normal' level of time/attention/etc that you as the landlord have to deal with.... but you're only getting 1/20th the income.Unless of course you are going to tie these to the 7 units themselves, and moving forward every time there is a vacancy, include the storage with the unit as a bundled pair, and increase the rent accordingly.

I lend money privately and would never consider this as it is dependent on things out of my control (permits, neighbors, you being a good host, rental demand etc) I sell a ton of STR that are in actual resort communities and have great amenities and they are all  competing for the same guests, I can't imagine that there is a need/demand for this type of unit.

Hope to hear more on here from others and their thoughts and experience with Big Bear, especially from fellow hosts like me. 

Right now, I am looking to get into co-hosting either on AirBnb/VRBO or any other rental applications.

Most familiar would be Guesty for Hosts, although I have heard of all of them.

A lot of these ocean front resorts include your home owners insurance in the HOA fee because it's cheaper when bundled together.

My company hosts a free real estate meetup quarterly and it's a great way for investors to network with locals in the industry.
