Im not sure, just feeling lost. 

I remind them that in Panama city beach, there are 20,000 rentals and that design helps keep their place in the mind of the guest looking to book.

@Andrew Foster some decent advice here, but also some feedback from those who really don't have enough info to support their perspective.Many DIY investors price repairs on materials only and forget about labor as they do their own work.We're a PMC in Metro Detroit, but here's how our process would work:1) MoveOut Video & Pics used to create Scope Of Work (SOW)2) SOW broken down into Priority Categories:- Health & Safety- Government Required (municipality/S8 inspection requirements)- Property Preservation- Marketing Impact / Tenant Retention- Miscellaneous3) Bids obtained if we feel work will exceed Owner Approval Threshold4) Bid sent & discussed with owner to, "redline to their budget"5) Work begins once owner approves & funds6) Completion video/pics providedOf course, while this is going on our Marketing Dept would be doing a rental analysis & ad, and discussing with owner.

If you place it on Airbnb, get guests in, and complete a cost segregation study, you can take bonus depreciation against W2 income as long as you meet the hour requirements.The key parts are: buying the property, putting it in service, tracking your hours, and getting the cost seg report done in time.

Guests are gravitating toward properties that feel modern, stylish, and curated, where every detail is thoughtfully designed.This shift means that success in today’s Atlantic City STR market requires a strategic approach.

There’s already plenty of room, and every guest has loved being able to stretch out.

Do you feel like that matters?

Talking with a specialist in this for help sourcing and managing a STR for the purpose of income of course, but also exploiting the depreciation loophole for tax saving and FAFSA reporting for college financial aid et...

My concern is the road noise might lead to bad guest reviews. 

"Co-host" to be is vague - some co-hosts check in guests, bring extra towels, coordinate the onsite part, and some just do off site stuff like guest communications, etc.
