They were old but functional. thanks for all thoughts. 

With second home loans, the mortgage must be for one unit (I do a lot of 2-4 unit STRs), the property must not be rented for more than 180 days out of the year (limits revenue), must function reasonably as a second home (usually limits out of state investing), rental income will not qualify as stable monthly income (projected AirDNA does not play into your DTI).

I don't know what you're using for all of those functions now, but it's really awesome to have it all in one place.  

There has been an old picket type fence between our neighbors yard and ours, with multiple repairs done to it over the years but that is irrelevant, it still functioned and was a clear boundary marker. 

In my opinion, Airbnb is trying to offer as PMS type functions as they can and be as user friendly as they can so people will ditch the PMS and OTA and only list on Airbnb. 

Is the followed locations function currently down?

.: @Kevin G.I suppose the issue is who is looking for what... and what risks are you looking to take.Nothing is wrong with you doing the GC "function" of getting the trades in and out, etc. 

How much EMD is a function of negotiation? 

There are a couple of companies that offer "Functional Replacement cost". 

We had also been aware of the political environment of the city and had taken steps to protect ourself from the possibility of not being able to function as an STR.
