But I want all the protection of transient, Innkeeper laws, not being mistaken for a long term rental.

Most people ignore this until it is fully codified.You will also probably have to switch your homeowner insurance from owner occupant to innkeeper's.

sounds like a good goal.... best of luck... americas newest inn keeper in the making.I think you will find that commercial lenders will want to see some experience in the asset class... at least they should

By the time they're out and you've got the rental turned around, you're 3 months down the road.However in a VR situation, you've got the money up front and if they don't leave, now they've got to contend with Felony Defrauding an Innkeeper (Florida Statute 509.151.)

do you pay the innkeepers salary plus a living space ?

You can probably get around that with a partner that will act as an innkeeper, who lives on site and is incentivized with profit sharing.Sorry for the rambling answer.

Call around to some RE companies and ask them who a good RE attorney is, you could also call some title companies and ask the same questions, they won't recommend one so much but ask who does alot of business in your area.You might consider getting a buyer's agent and have them walk you through the property and the sale.You'll need to get the property inspected and a Realtor can help you with that as well.But if I'm off and you have more info, post it and we can jump into the deal....BTW, Patel, did you know that means "Inn Keeper" in the Indian language...in India, I recall that from years ago writing insurance for rentals.Good luck...

If you have the right pleasant attitude of the innkeeper coupled with savvy, you can grow a solid and large vacation rental PM business locally.  

Some states weekly rents would be under innkeeper laws and would be all together different set of rules. 

Having a "innkeeper's policy" also allows me to use other sites like Homesuite so I like the flexibility.
