Visitors, Employment opportunities, overall a really competitive place.

.- IMPORTANT: Airbnb boosts new listings aggressively, both by direct emails (they send to all visitors who looked into your market, saying hey check these new listings including yours) and by ranking you higher.

At least for a visit or two; get to know the team or individuals who'd be assisting you and essentially handling your investments. 

Pretty much missed that boat, but probably for the best as I'd rather buy somewhere with a more year-round community (maybe in a place that benefits from visitors but doesn't solely rely on them).

We rent fully furnished apartments for extended stay visitors who are in town for anywhere from 3 months to 9 months.

One cannot make a reasonable accommodation request to waive rules that protect the property against damage, protect the neighbors against unwelcome intrusions, or protect visitors from attack or the fear of attack by animals.THERE IS NO WAY AROUND the requirement that you allow someone to have an assistance animal, unless you fall within one of the Fair Housing exceptions! 

What should we do about the noise and the annoying visitor?

They often end up attracting the wrong site visitors and burning their budgets, or focus too small and don’t attract enough leads.

8 years later, it still impresses visitors.
