Many landlords love having an arbitrager using their property for the following reasons....So the home rents well, it's kept in perfect condition all the time.Professionally cleaned at least 4 times a month.So long as the property is over $150 a night, it's a proven fact that STR guests are much easier on the property the LTR tenants. 

High BP, I’m very new yet have had years of credit cards, building credit and working on consolidation. 

Are you happy with the return on that investment and do you think it will continue to appreciate (highly dependent on where you are at in the Bay Area)?

Where my primary residence is, cash flow negative, entry point for anywhere around here is too high, and I like the market out that way.

One thing I'd keep in mind with mid-term rentals is I expect the mid-term rental market to get highly saturated at some point just like the STR market has.

So, either the purchase price is very high, or your expenses are high. 

Especially if you have a short high season which is also the time that you want to be there.

I find that automatically sending a message to your new guests is very useful, you get to start a conversation right away and it increases the guest's experience.I also automate all my cleaning jobs with Turno that I find invaluable.

I was able to get all but one bath towel clean as a whistle.

To @Bruce Lynn point, the rents are not high compared to house values right now - shortage of supply is driving up the prices.
