We have other issues here locally which compound with short term rentals, I would just ensure that there is a strong case for long term rentals wherever you buy in case the Airbnb rug gets pulled out from under you.

I doubt anyone living in a huge mansion with marble floors would see that as a problem for instance. the solution for living spaces is area rugs of course, which look better and are easier to clean.

The pergola is interesting; some of them look pretty rugged; I could probably get a handyman to bolt it to the wall and patio surface without much trouble...

The next step is for the rug to be pulled out entirely, loan denials even when loan docs are out for your signature with the notary, it happened in 2008, it happened in March 2020 (until the Fed $ printers were turned on), and I wouldn't be at all surprised if now (that the $ printers are off again) it happened again, and BOOM there went your $20,000 earnest money deposit, forfeit to the seller, with no practical recourse against the bank (no serious lawsuits or settlements came of it in 2008, or March 2020).

Specifically, leaks from every imaginable source; termite and carpenter ant attacks; poor drainage of waste lines AND exterior gutters/downspouts; safety hazards such as ongoing use of extension cords covered with rugs; grease buildups on range hoods; blocked venting of furnace, water heater, AC; and much more.

You might see some temporary drops if the war in the Middle East intensifies and the US stays out of it.

Looks like people use king size beds, so a two bedroom STR with each having a king size bed, 2 king frames, 2 king matresses, night stands, clock/radio/phone chargers, 4 sets sheets, blankets, comforters, pillows, 8 set towels, wall hangings, rugs, TVs, sleeper sofa, chairs, kitchen table & chairs, refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer & dryer, etc. 

Can you place a nice rug over it and let buyers see that it isn't really that big of a crack?

I feel like all the work on the 203k was enough for this, and it’s super deflating to have the rug pulled from me right at the 1 yard line.
