There's what would be best practice for you as a host and there's what's practical in the current STR world.

The project will start soon, and I believe it will take that long for the construction company to complete the work on all the buildings.I have landlord insurance with State Farm, which includes coverage for loss assessments that should cover this amount.

But to answer your question why you still see so many active STR's on Airbnb in a restricted area, it could be a couple things: It could be a "hosted rental" meaning the homeowner is there and is just renting rooms on Airbnb.

The properties that I own, our vacation rentals that can host large groups.

If you're a host in the area, I'd really appreciate it if you could verify some of the numbers I'm sharing below.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

I have transacted with them as well; by far the best out of the turnkey companies IMO.

As a shameless plug, Raynor Realty has started hosted quarterly client lunch and learns which are both educational and networking events. 

I host a local real estate meet up in town if you want to come network with other investors.

Probably every dialer company has lists they can sell you.I think it is better to call yourself vs using cold callers.
