Other investors, institutional investors, and homeowners all competing for the same product will naturally drive prices upward in a market like this.

Plus it's very beautiful :)  Lots of visitors feel the same way - they don't want to be in the middle of everything 24/7, they want to feel like they're off in nature but still be able to be in town in 15-20 minutes when they want to go out to dinner.  

@Andres Alava"some personal expenses that I have been able to classify as business expenses,"Having an entity does not just all of a sudden make personal expenses now a business deduction.You may be paying lower taxes now...but if the IRS/states come back and say that you filed an incorrect return, you risk paying back the "tax savings" along with paying penalties and interest.Just remember, you are signing off on the return that it is correct.Now, if you are talking about expenses that are normally "personal" in nature and you would have to do it regardless but can be considered a business expense under the right circumstances, that is a different story.I.E. having a meal with a business partner and discussing business during the meal.

If you're thinking of an Urban Airbnb, I would just be cautious of regulatory nature of big cities as they tend to not care so much for the short term rentals (NYC, Chicago, LA, Vegas, Portland...).

Natural light enters the home through a new skylight and solar tubes in each bathroom.

Perfect living room space with lots of natural light.
