I do plan on documenting any and all damage or expected damage and claiming upon cleaners getting in there.Appreciate all the feedback.

Take into account: bedroom and bathroom counts, square footage of the unit, whether parking is included, whether laundry in in-unit or not or nonexistent, central air vs. window units vs. nothing, and the general condition and age of the interior.Good luck!

The comparable on Air BnB are few, but seem to be renting around $65-85/night.

For MTRs I do not use air bnb. so no I have not.

We are currently using Lodgify PMS to manage our 5 STRs but one big missing feature is the ability to send a SMS to our cleaners on bookings, cancellations and day before checkouts.  

Our original strategy included St John as a lifestyle air bnb play while working remotely and living summer to summer.

Depreciation can be applied not only to the property but also to fixtures, such as air conditioners, so if those fixtures are also new, the tax savings can be even greater.On the other hand, used property does not provide the same tax savings as new property because many years have passed since it was built, so it's useful life may be less, or in some cases, almost zero.

I remodeled her bathroom, upgraded her kitchen a little and added central air and other things.

STR is a strategy and an investment (furnishings, learning to self-manage, hiring cleaners, etc.)

This morning I hauled 3 truck loads of trash out of a recent vacancy because no one else could do it on short notice and the cleaners were scheduled for this afternoon.
