My Conundrum: after thinking through the possibilities, I stumbled on a Twitter thread where someone had been to a luxury RV park in Wyoming which flipped a light bulb on in my head.

In TN, it is called a Vacation Lodging Specialist (VLS) and as I recall, FL has something similar.Best path would be to check with the real estate commission in your state and get the answer from the source.

He is actually the main roofer for a large luxury home company in Warner Robins.  

In my market we a 4% lodging tax added to every reservation.Some other expenses:Marketing (advertising, collecting payments, etc.)Management (even if you manage it yourself, you don't work for free.

I have been in property management for over 10 years now ranging from 150+ luxury apartments to low income apartments and now single family homes.... 

In my market these are called "drive-by appraisals" and cost about $275So, with a refinance they have the luxury of knowing what it appraised for last time it sold and then they can observe (if they want) the updates made since then, the time of ownership, and the valuation of that area since the original purchase price.  

The prior owner purchased the house for $112K in November 2017 (as a flip - was vacant for years), gutted the property down to the studs, and renovated with luxury finishes.

@Patrick Bavaro find a mature vacation rental market where the local municipalities are already monitizing VRs, ie via lodging taxes.

Purchase price: $770,000 Welcome to "the Palms" this luxury Short Term rental is in the heart of the Kierland commons in the stunning Scottsdale Arizona.

Disregarding some of the post that you received concerning drug use there are a lot of high-end areas in the Poconos near the Mount Airy Lodge which is super expensive and a big draw because of the casino.
