When it comes to AirBnB I have found its location, number of beds then amenities like kitchens and outdoor spaces that attract quality guests and demand higher prices. 

That’s why my original post focuses on what can be done within that space to address affordability.

Mixed-use properties that integrate residential units, co-working spaces, and retail areas with sustainable design elements are particularly appealing.

It looks like R-25 Batts would be ideal being 8" thick to fill the space however R-25 is not readily available from what I can tell.

If the property breaks even, or operates in the red currently, it will only operate deeper in the negative (unless you find a strong ROI like creating more bedrooms, convert a non living space to living space, etc) with another loan. 

Seriously, lots of properties have these hidden gems—unused spaces that can be turned into cash-generating units.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I’d love to hear from others who have navigated similar challenges or have insights on improving profitability in the short-term rental space.

So my inclination is to compromise her 50% request payment to 25% as stated by Mark and Martin. 

I own a commercial unit, and I’m trying to determine a fair rental rate for the space.
