For what it's worth, some ideas I've seen pitched are grocery bundles (e.g. a breakfast bundle for 2-4 people with eggs, bacon, bagels, cream cheese, and OJ all pre-stocked in the fridge), meal kits, a pre-stocked drink fridge, charcuterie boards, premium coffee selection, bike/e-bike/scooter/kayak/canoe rentals, video game consoles, upgraded work-from-home office amenities (e.g. oversized computer monitor), etc.I'm not a lawyer, but cocktail kits, bottles of wine, local craft beer, and other alcoholic items seem like they would fall into a grey area from liability perspective. 

What is the real benefit of claiming your short-term rental income in Schedule E?

One would want to double and triple check the title company and the escrow officer NOT BY E Mail by phone and If needed you ask who their underwriter is and then call a CA title company you may know that has the  same underwriter and ask them to verify this company is real.

Quote from @Chuck E.: Just curious, how long are they giving you to get compliant?

Like I Said way up in the thread I am not sure why he called me e mailed me and wanted me to come to his event etc..

In my opinion, it never hurts to take 5-10 minutes to e-sign and send an offer.

I would have an experienced team in place that includes a lawyer, accountant and multiple advisors with experience in R/E investing.
