Now you can only do an STR in a 2-4 if you are an owner-occupant and in 5+ buildings you can only have 25% and will need an operator's license from the city.I have had an Airbnb over this entire time and am considering pulling the plug on it. 

And--as long as we're talking about Butte--do you have any advice or perspective you'd share with a person thinking about investing in Butte and the community?

I was back there for Thanksgiving and stayed both at Kaanaapali and at the Aston in your area. like I said its really grown. there is an out fit there called the Maui flight academy and if I can put in a shameless plug.. this Is the greatest value for a tourist...

I would highly suggest you get plugged in with other investors and realtors about something like this. 

Then, you plug in your numbers to see if it will make Positive Monthly Income or not.

I had a tenant who's dryer plug did not match the plug in the unit. 

Let's just say I am very lost in terms of plugging in the correct numbers.

Do you just plug in the numbers as if you weren't living there just to see if its a good deal overall, or is there a different approach I should take?

Thanks for the kick in the butt

I'll be checking out the meet up groups here to try and get plugged in.
