I suspect maximizing the investment might make it slightly less desirable as an owner or at least the renovations might have lower ROI if sold to a homeowner.

Hit rate should be in the 90% for home owners.

It is just laughable when places have regulations like a homeowner can only have a certain number of STR listings by the law but these big name companies suddenly start with 20 units in the first month.

Durham is also more complex in nature than Raleigh.Raleigh stands out as the only municipality with Fast-Track ADU plans to streamline the approval process for homeowners.

And SF is much easier to sell if necessary because you can sell to an investor or home owner.

Now it appears your cleaners might be cleaning non-STR properties also (home owners).
