Much Better weather which helps limit some of the wear and tear on homes.

I also find WAY more wear and tear with he sec 8 families. 

It is an str already so the points about excess wear and tear are irrelevant.

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.I think that's a lot of horse waste!

The more people staying there full time the harder it would be to evict and more wear and tear.

You could also consider things would get a bit more wear and tear (more adults doing laundry if you provide that, etc. as a reason for higher rent).  

I would use cleaning services but it's my understanding I could use more than one company over the course of the year to limit how many hours one company spends on it.I'm looking into a utilitarian STR more for business travelers, so this won't be one where everything is perfect, it's bound to accumulate wear and tear I think.The STR would be out of state, but I plan to travel there for probably two weeks a year where I would perform many repairs myself.

It might be different if it was a primary residence but with renters the wear and tear will be much greater and any small issues magnified.

My experience, we're investing in sub 100k markets, expect more than normal wear and tear.

As stated in the lease agreement, the property should be returned in the same condition upon move-in (with the exception of normal wear and tear).
