I tell people all the time to think of any pic of a hotel room- 9 times out of 10 it’s nice professionally done but it is also boring.

If a nearby hotel is charging $650 per night for a 1000 square foot suite and keeping it occupied, would I not be able to charge the same for a 1921 mansion that sleeps 10 people comfortably?

An annual business tax as a hotel of $50 and collection and remittance of transient occupancy tax of 12% from renters is required of all short-term vacation rental operators.

All the major PMS platforms have hundreds of reviews on there and you can get a great sense of what will and won't work for you without having to sit through 5 or 10 sales demos.I discovered both OwnerRez (for our STR) and ThinkReservations (for our hotel) on Capterra.

Lots of investors simply want to go "bold" on all of their projects by using sharp color contrasts, busy tiles that catch your attention, and modern lighting that looks like it belongs in a hotel.

I have a goal of getting one hotel this year in my portfolio. 

I read that you can only do unlimited STR in hotel/motel zones.  

Jaime, I'm actually sitting in a hotel in Lehi, near Salt Lake, right now.

We've got great reviews and super host status on a personal account, but we're planning on building a brand via our management company and buying cabin communities / boutique hotels as well.

Do not think you can get a hotel room during Semana Santa (Easter Week) with no notice!
