Currently, the City generally categorizes short-term rentals, such as Airbnb or Vrbo, as hotel, motel, or bed and breakfast uses because the lease period is less than 30 days.

No one wants a hotel next door. 

I've had to get rid 3 people for non-payment this year but in my area rooming houses are run like a hotel so we can just tell them to leave and/or call the police if they don't want to go nicely.

Are you competing with Hotels? 

So thats the other side of the coin.. by the time you find another one you will spend another inspection another apprasial fee another flight more hotel more meals out etc etc..

Would love it to feel like a hotel with all the options for them to choose.

Not enough hotels to hold everyone.

And while travel is going to be expensive for any property, if you only have one in a market, the concept is the same with less rent: that $2,000 flight/hotel/rental car food for a one night visit, ties up a lot more of your gross when that gross is much lower. 

I've seen some really good hotel/motel conversion to MF properties in Spokane lately, retail value-add in Tri-Cities and Wenatchee.

To qualify, property owners must meet specific criteria:Guest stay duration: Rentals must average no more than seven days per guest.Service level: Owners must provide services comparable to a hotel, such as daily cleaning, meals, or transportation.
