Number three we have more protection in place for our short term guests than we do with our long term tenants. And that's just the beginning. I've been at this short term rental game for a long time, in fact over 10 years and I've uncovered some really interesting insights in my own personal portfolio is that running a short term rental can have considerably less maintenance costs than a long term rental.
