The HOA of some buildings who did not have the "lodge or hotels" stopped allowing Airbnb.Commercial: it's a different beast, if you refer to warehouse, office or retail (and not multifamily).

When I was at Hersha we used this approach for 3rd party hotel management engagements and for service providers who performed services on behalf of the hotels my employer owned/managed.

I literally had to put both tenants in a nearby hotel for a week.

We in our lease addendum have language that the property is X years old and may require components to be replaced which is not uncommon and no rent reduction or hotel will be provided.

Basically AirDNA makes my thesis and I prove it against real time available data on those sites.I am not an expert in Destin but Tampa area is a similar beach market and small condo's struggle as you are competing with hotels to an extent. 

one of my bizz partner does solar in Hawaii on hotels etc and is quite successful at that the tax write offs for those that reside and pay tax in Hawaii is stunning.

That being said, we focus on micro units (1-2 guests max) and have no problem having our units booked every weekend with scattered weekdays.The sad thing is we used to be at nearly 95% occupancy in 2017-2019 but once everyone started joining the party and our city started throwing up tons of hotels to keep up with tourism demad, we dropped to more like 65% occupancy.Keep your head up, man!

I have seen on my last trip to New York City formerly bankrupt hotels recover and make a ton of revenue off illegal immigrants.

I have a background in Hotel Development and am a real estate broker.  

Also curious how others navigate our short term rental laws (seems like many property owners are advertising for periods shorter than the 14 day minimum) Also curious if many owners are actually paying hotel taxes to the county or waiting for more clarity on the law
