@Sean Monahan You can still inspect your properties as normal - you'll just give your standard notice and communicate that to Airbnb guests.Loftium requires long-term tenants to hold renters insurance, and Airbnb provides $1M of damage protection and a separate $1M primary liability insurance for every booking.Most repairs don't get in the way of Airbnb hosting - i.e. if the stove is out, that can be communicated to guests - and as long as repairs are made on a timely basis, there's no penalty.We sign a standard 1-year lease for the first year, and can sign a longer lease after that if both sides are happy with the process.Feel free to check out my profile and the Loftium company profile on BiggerPockets for our website with more info.
