One booking 6 weeks from now really handicaps your ability to book MTR guests. 

They generally don't want unpermitted issues on the books any more than you do.Better to do this ASAP and not mess with it, you want to show that you are serious about getting this corrected.

I'm looking at an excel sheet of Airbnb bookings for a client of mine.

The additional income from STR could justify the renovation costs, but it requires active management and market awareness.LTR or Break-Even Strategy: Renting long-term might simplify things, but if it only breaks even, you’re right to consider if appreciation is enough motivation to hold.DIY Basement: DIYing the basement could increase STR appeal without the full $50K outlay, especially if extra space attracts more bookings.

My experience in the last 18 months…lots of “looks” on FF, but almost all bookings coming through Airbnb.

If you do a search on airbnb, you can see a few of larger homes (4 bedrooms+) are getting decent booking. 

(Roth's being an exception.)CPA Tom Wheelwright has a chapter on this in his book Tax Free Wealth and agrees with what I just noted. 

Some people make attempts at getting around this buy calling them "marketing fees" or some other obvious attempt at skating the law, but even if there is some loophole or potential way around it, anyone who is willing to pay that fee to an unlicensed person isn't the smartest person in my book because it's very risky, and no upside to the risk of it.

Spring & Fall still book, but tend to be shorter stays than Summer & Winter.
