None of the health travelers wanted a live viewing except when they showed up and were looking for immediate occupancy as they were in a hotel.

Hotels dominate these things b/c they are markets that typical AirBnB hosts don't even know exist, meanwhile the hotels are building corporate B2B relationships (& not giving a cut of their action to AirBnB to boot). 

EX: Hotel cost, food cost, etc.Landlord (Dwelling Fire Policy)- This policy is typically if you own the property and are renting it out, then you would purchase a Tenant Occupied Dwelling Fire Policy.

I will be looking to get my second property in Q1 of next year.I'll probably get one of the Airbnb Apart-hotel units that won't need much work (if any) and has in-house management.

Overall, while hotels have been hurting compared to normal levels, tourism is still pretty strong here - we are just seeing more domestic instead of foreign tourists.

I am also saddened by the fact that although not as bad, there have been quite a few stories like this in recent years involving squatters entering during a family vacation and obtaining some insignificant form of occupancy (water bill) that turns a petty B&E criminal charge into a long drawn out Civil case with the rightful owners always getting the short end of the stick, living in hotels while they try to legally evict criminals trashing their home and selling belongings.

I find considering such cases squatting is absurd because if the definition of a squatter is one that has "stayed"/established residency, if a family goes on vacation for a couple of days, only to come back finding a squatter living in their property (squatter moved a couple of personal belongings into the property), does the family now have to book a hotel elsewhere and wait through the whole legal eviction process to get back the property?

But if it’s more of a “horizontal hotel” I really see the value in building bc of the creative freedom you get. 

These function more like hotel replacements.

Just looking at the various hotel conference room flip seminars there I have seen 30-50 people attending them go to the back of the room and fork over $1,500-2,500.00.
