This will be useful as well because you are able to see which property managers are most accommodating to give you this information and that will be useful when you are deciding which property management companies to interview. 

This would be great for groups from 6-20, but the space wouldn't be able to accommodate more than that (especially with Covid spacing folks out).

Some may say they will move in a few months so I would accommodate them with a short term or month to month lease.

According to This article :"Last year, the tax collected on accommodations rented for less than six months brought in just over $49.5 million." and the city is on pace to increase that by another 10-12% this yearThe short-term rental tax, or "bed tax" is not peanuts, and is not something that the city is going to miss out on collecting -- I do believe that AirBNB collects and pays on your behalf.
