Thank you for your help… Clarification: Current LA City STR Ordinance does not allow RSO units to be used as short term rental thus does not renew your host registration for airbnb or other STR platforms.

Mainly to be a good host but also because our home is way out of town so it isn't easy to just go get something.I have never had a guest comment on the open spices or anything like that other than happy to have a great selection to cook with.

When we spoke to them last week, they mentioned that they can easily do 20% down with no experience needed as being a host.

My property manager is acting as the host and we have already had multiple bookings. 

I'll message you contact info for a local agent that can give you several options to consider.We actually know of many hosts that used the lost rents policy.

I expect that will be many STR hosts' response and it's one of the reasons the regulations are going to come back to bite CO and other states pushing for tighter restrictions on STRs.

It includes a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch house along with a private street hosting a small mobile home park with 5 units of which are owned by the seller. 

Charge the guest using Airbnb's Host Damage Protection.

I am a premier host and super host on both platforms, but  when I search my property on VRBO it seems further down on the search. 

They host an annual conference in Las Vegas, NV usually in early Nov.
