The workers need lodging.  

If using accurate underwriting (something close to 50% expense estimate) your costs will be far in excess of your $3k current lodging expense.  

Got this note from VRBO today:Dear Partner, We are writing to inform you that effective July 1, 2024, California Assembly Bill 537 will prohibit advertising, displaying or offering a rate that does not include all fees or charges required to stay at a short-term lodging (except taxes and fees imposed by a government on the stay).

In my opinion: 1) This was not necessarily caused just by normal 'wear and tear'... 40 yrs is not that old. 2) Owner should pay for tenants lodging etc. 3) 1 -2 months is absolutely ludicrous.

From condos designed to accommodate couples and young families and large lake lodges which house multi-generational parties, to luxurious custom getaway cabins on stilts… investors are seeking properties that align with their guests’ values and aspirations.Aside from STR the influx of remote work has catalyzed a new wave of interest in Branson's real estate market.

They add:  Creates many definitions including classes of dwellings, but specifically excludes all hotels, lodging houses, rooming houses, boarding houses, boarding schools, furnished room houses, lodgings, club houses and university and school dormitories.

This includes transportation costs such as gas, airfare, rental car fees, and lodging expenses while away from home.

However, the lodging tax is NOT included in this average daily rate. 

I often take massive road trips and will stay at a mix of STRs and hotels or quirky lodges depending on what looks fun or convenient. 

I wonder if the rentals in Girdwood will be full and people will have to find lodging in Anchorage.
