You asked about short-term rental property demand and mid-term rental property demand in other areas besides yours and thoughts on managing these properties.First off, short-term rentals are a great property class to own, especially if you "materially participate" with 500 ours in the management of your property for the IRS to consider it an active investment and able to write down your active or W-2 income with the expenses, bonus depreciation, and cost segregating the property for additional depreciation to reduce your income taxes.There is short-term rental demand in many communities in Michigan because we have so much coastline and natural beauty as well as university, business, and hospital stay demand.

@Craig Cann I had not dealt with soaked carpet pads or wood subfloor but in a generic basis ozone treatment worked for us however I have heard others use enzymatic cleaners such as Nature’s Miracle or Rocco & Roxie are the best in getting them out completely.
