Backstory:We rent the ADU out regularly via STR or MTR and live in the main house currently and are looking to size up.

I am thinking about booking.com but it will change how Airbnb pays the fee - from guest to host - so I am not too surw if its worth it. 

No matter how well the home is designed and priced, vacationers will click away as soon as they feel like a host is inflating costs. 

Sorry the copy and paste is horrible and I don't know how else to fix without having to just type it out :(.ABANDONMENT:Tenant covenant to occupy the Premises and shall be in default if Tenant does not occupy the Premises on a regular,continuing, and consistent basis unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in writing.

Are there any meetups or events being hosted in the area or websites to help investors network through scheduled events?

Demand for Midland will always be there, not sure on STR rules but if you're traveling regularly then STR it and get the tax benefits/utility from it but make sure you're not violating the occupancy stays.

While we are prepared to host by the room, what we are seeing is that most residents are just taking the whole space. 

People struggle with it - both guests and hosts - but if you have the right property at the right price in a high demand location and you understand how to us it it can be a great option.

the "regulars" who have their turf battles (or hmmm, ya think anyone might ever cut any backroom deals on who goes after what?

Do you regularly work with cash buyers on off market deals?
