The idea others came up with to market the STR to gun or hunter enthusiasts, is your best option as a STR. And good chance you'll make a pretty good go of it, so long as you tailor and market the property to that specific group of people. All other options especially nurses on weird sleeping schedules due to their shifts, is going to be a nightmare with all the noise complaints!

Boostly is good but they have been struggling to get people's sites up and going. Are you using a PMS that would have a direct site available? If you have a PM managing the property this should be something they're doing, not you as the owner. 

You need to check into Rob Abasolo new STR creative camp. I think it would be a very good fit for you!

Also, Vacasa is a terrible place to take STR advice from! They are quickly heading downhill and could be potentially closing up shop in the decade if they don't their act together. It would be a dream for Vacasa to hit numbers like that on a property, so yes, they would say it's not realistic.

Most of the PM listed on Biggerpockets are for LTR since the site promotes self-managing STR. There was a guy managing STR in Charlevoix, MI, but I'm not sure if he's taking clients. If you're interested let me know, and I'll try to reach out in our mastermind group and see if he's still taking clients.

I'm thinking LA county is watching Airbnb for listings with less then 30 day stays. So regardless of your average, a permit would be necessary. 

I'm a little lost, but it has been a long week! Are you going to take over hosting the property, or is the owner/client taking over the hosting from you?

Wow so so much potential!! I would highly recommend hiring a designer for that one, even if it's just a virtual option. If your potential numbers already look good, you most certainly won't regret the money spent on a designer!
