It is a common belief among most Realtors that short-term rentals have little effect on the housing market.  

A recent study commissioned by the Mount Washington Valley Association of Responsible Vacation Rentals, which represents hundreds of STR owners and backers statewide, supports that notion and asserts that STRs have “a very modest impact” on rent prices.

How is 45 days rental anything to anyone? That's about 6,000 bucks. Most rentals aim for at least 26 weeks of rentals to offset expenses and taxes. Remember, this is income.
