If you choose to only do short stays because that is what works for your business model - more power to you.

After they sand your floors they will be able to lay down 4-6 different stains and let you choose which one looks the best. 

So if you do choose to get something now, be sure you have the cash reserves to float it for a couple months.

If their income is not impacted by COVID-19 and they are choosing to not pay rent, we may give them a 28-day notice that their tenancy will end at the end of the following month.  

You have more to choose from and subsequently more to benefit from.

So, we had to choose between remaining vacant or taking a 20% income haircut.

just a different perspective and I agree tenants should be able to choose - not that landlord forcing them to pay with a CC 

If you choose to go this route, just be prepared.

I have personally found that Real-Estate backed Private Notes / Loans are the most secure way to invest your funds for any duration you so choose, at an interest rate WAY better than the banks, or bonds, with monthly "dividends" and still secured by an actual physical asset!

You should make sure you've either got the funding for a new roof, or ask the insurance company to inspect and clear the roof for coverage before choosing the insurer and policy.
