I purchased a home in February 2020 right before the pandemic and murder hornets started.

This change can be attributed to several factors, including high interest rates impacting the affordability of purchasing new rental properties and increased competition from hotels adjusting their pricing and services to better compete with short-term rentals.Despite these challenges, nightly rates have continued to increase, albeit at a slower pace than during the pandemic.

I’d invest in a HEPA filter and whatever else I can buy as an automatic cleaning agent.Or is House hacking with AirBnb not a thing with the current pandemic?

In February of this year, right before the Pandemic hit, I just bought a Duplex in the same neighborhood of the target property, using my VA Loan.

Hence, the Corona Virus, a great case in point.I know of real stories where the market shifted and investor friends of mine had their money tied up for years.

All my operational costs as a landlord continue to increase, even amid the pandemic. 

Now with the pandemic, I would say keep reading and educating yourself. 

We were running 3 - 5 of them full-time heading into the pandemic, and now we only offer STR's when we have a tenancy gap of a month +/- between tenants.

The pandemic restrictions nearly killed off a bunch of STR owners.

I've worked with them for over a year and they were fine until a few months ago and have become less reliable with paying rent, blaming the pandemic.
