Hello all,I am a new investor and have been looking at house boats on marketplace and have been wondering about their short term rental potential.

For instance, I was looking at a property for STR in a town in VT and the realtor explained the town passed an ordinance preventing repetitive short term rentals of properties because of partying and noise violations. 

One big takeaway is that MTRs function more like short-term rentals (STRs) than traditional long-term rentals.

then give them a short blurb. i.e.

Not saying you should go for it, more as an FYI: https://www.oaklandca.gov/topics/short-term-residential-rent...Some investors find success toggling between MTR and STR with their properties.

Then I've seen more experienced investors on BP explain things using finance terminology and I'm not a finance major or work in any part of finance, trading etc - maybe I'm just dumb and am sharing two brain cells with my cat LOL I am guilty of using LTR (Long Term Rentals), MTR (Mid Term Rentals) and STR (Short Term Rentals).

For the low-interest mortgages, I personally would never pay a cent extra, just let my tenants pay down my mortgages, because I can earn more even on a short term CD than I would paying them down.

Long story short, I was left to fend for myself with a seller who wanted to sell his property stuck with a newbie (me) who didn't even know how to lead him to the sale. 

Rental Demand: How important is the local rental market or potential for short-term rentals (like Airbnb)?

Quote from @Bob Billingtonz: You gave them the tools, but they refuse to use them.Based on what you've shared, I would give them a short, professional notice that tells them to abide by the lease or give 30 days' notice and move out.
