Thanks in advance,I work seasonally where in the summers I travel a lot and spend a lot of time offshore, and in the winters I go to Colorado for work. 

There is a higher turnover, but from what I've experienced so far, you get much higher quality tenants as they're usually traveling nurses or, in my case, someone moving to Austin for a tech job, and needs a place to stay while they purchase a home.Anyone else in Austin have experiences with this?

I received a landlord dwelling quote from Travelers for Coverage A - dwelling for $223,600 plus 25% of additional replacement cost coverage which puts the total at $279,500, plus $28k for furnishings and $70k for loss of use.I understand I wouldn’t need to purchase the land in a rebuild, but $280k seems low for a cabin worth $520k, not to mention the risk of inflation continuing to drive costs higher for building costs and labor.

I do travel a bit for work and could consider a STR in the Gulf area.

We plan on turning it into a mid-term rental for travel nurses since we are in a prime location!

I have reached out to industries who have traveling construction workers in the area frequently to make them aware of my Airbnb. 

I'm going to get quoted from the big named companies (Travelers/Farmers/Geico..etc) but wondering if there are any local companies that could be competitive.Searching old posts on BP: Spearhead Insurance Group, SafecoTIA!

I assumed it was a smoke detector or sump pump battery, because this has happened before.

I think short term rentals are a great way to see our beautiful city of Columbus or to provide housing for traveling professionals.
