I can charge about $450 per room.I plan to rent out 5 rooms to 5 Professional Adults.

I have been employed steadily with a solid salary my whole adult life but took a year off and lived in africa for awhile.

In this case since it is an adult female, doing a closet check should also be an indication. 

I'm going to guess you saw a video that said you could make 10x more by running an adult family home.

(same per unit, per number of occupants (any difference for adults/kids), SF, number of bathrooms) How did your tenants handle the matter?

You cut the check and you are an adult, but that sucks. 

@Karen Margrave crushing college debt, delayed adult decision making, chronic alcohol abuse, pushed political agendas.

Learn how taxes work, especially when it related to real estate.You're entering a world full of adults, adults want reliability and consistency. 

They charge $50 per adult so $30 should be fine. 

I must admit, I am new to the STR scene so any insight as to why I should switch up to shorter term rentals as opposed to longer term ones would be most appreciated.My thought process was, shorter term rentals could possibly lend themselves to young adults looking for a party location and perhaps even older guests that due to the short term rental nature of the stay would care less about taking care of the premises.
