It seems like it is more at the behest of the hotel industry and the few permit holders wanting to protect their captured audience, because they strictly disallow hosted STRs, whether that be an ADU, extra room etc.

Many hosts encounter challenges because they are not readily available.

Additionally, consider hosting open houses to increase visibility.

But tiny things like visiting your own listing daily and making changes to it, tells the algorithm, "This host is an active host." 

They could be looking at the space to check legal egress, ceiling heights, window location and size, fire separation between units/hazardous areas (like boiler rooms, etc.) or a whole host of other things.

@David Zhu I host a meetup in Los Gatos.If you interested in out of state multi family feel free to check it out :meetup.com/Los-Gatos-Real-Estate-Networking-Meetup/

That brings up a host of questions:What if I don't like how they are managing the property? 

I think out of over 500+ guests, we have maybe had 2-3 terrible guests (nothing major, though), and around 5-10, I would never host again.

When accounting for location, the hosts that have a unique property with great reviews, service and pricing will have much much better occupancy than the hosts that think they can throw some bland furnishings into any old property and be successful. 

,Im looking to connect with fellow STR hosts in the west palm beach area.
