AirBNB is legit more expensive than hotels now for far worse service. It's a get rich quick scheme.
It depends on the city really. I find that some cities hotels are just a way better value but other time air b and b can be good. Like for cabins and beach houses for example.
Renting out cabins and beach houses makes way more sense, since those are typically places you wouldn't live in full time. The rest of the short term housing rentals end up driving up the cost of living.
"Investment properties" shouldn't even be a thing.
Depends on the location and the number of people in your party. Sometimes it does work out cheaper to rent an apartment or even a house instead of several hotel rooms. Kitchen space is always a boon, I'm rarely impressed by overpriced restaurant fare and prefer to cook for myself when possible. It can also be helpful if you're traveling with pets.
