In this market, I do not think they will be able to raise the price to accommodate the 150k by just raising the price if and when I totally bail out.

The idea of having an intentional avatar and customer in mind is critical to almost any business, but supply and demand is just as critical.In my mind, when you are a STR host your avatar and customer is: Somebody traveling to the region where you own a home, who is looking for short term accommodations, who prefers staying in a house over a hotel.If you 'niche down' further than that, I think you're just weeding out potential customers (pun intended lol)

Accessory Dwelling Unit/in-law unit requirements)A: Current planning regulations prohibit any rental of a single-family home, duplex, apartment/condo, live/work unit, or room for less than thirty (30) days, based on the City’s definition of “Permanent Residential Activities”, which are defined as the occupancy of living accommodations on a thirty (30) days or longer basis, with none of the living units under the same ownership or management on the same lot being occupied on a shorter basis.If you are renting your single-family home, duplex, apartment/condo, live/work unit, or room for less than thirty (30) days, the Oakland Planning Code defines the activity as “Transient Habitation” (or essentially a hotel).

“And SB 13, which we strongly supported, is a vital and complementary piece of legislation that, combined with the others, represent a win-win for homeowners, renters, and cities everywhere that are struggling to accommodate more homes.

I think your time is better spent focusing on making your accommodation and profile and listing and pictures and guest experience the best.

I opened my table, re-calculated all my numbers at $550,000 and printed a comprehensive breakdown showing my expenses and profit.
