 Thanks Pablo. I know your work and your properties are phenomenal! I would love to talk further. I've reached out to you directly. 

 What are the numbers you're looking for? Is there a certain metric you're after?

What market would you look at instead?

Hey @Michael Hyun/@Rob Tennyson,

did you guys end up buying something out in DHS? I'm in contract on a property there now and looking to connect with more STR investors out there. Please let me know if you've done anything.

Same. Would really love to attend.

This is an awesome post. My wife and I are looking at purchasing a short term rental in Kauai, as she's from there and has family there. Would like to talk to a couple of you guys here. I'll try to reach out, but if I don't feel free to do so.

@Christian Paluzzi - I would say overall every market is expanding and growing in Columbus. You can assume the A stayed the same but the D is not a C- or C. C class areas are now C+ or B-. I just mean overall with all the rehab and growth the city is seeing, all of the little markets are becoming better from my experience. I now own properties in this D class list, which are performing well (knock on wood).  

I'm sure this has been asked before in some sort or form, but I'm looking to purchase Airbnb's out of state. 

I live in LA and currently own 1 STR in Los Angeles and it's been very profitable.

I'm looking to expand into other markets since I want to visit and have options to travel to other parts of the US (or even world), but also it's way cheaper to buy anything outside of California (for the most part). I also own some LTR out of state (Ohio) but those are easier since PM manages most of it and I manage the PM. 

In terms of STR, I'm currently doing the cleaning since I'm looking to maximize income. I'm looking to find cleaners in my current market soon so your answers will help my current STR decision and future out of state ones.

1. What's the most important thing you look for in a cleaner? 

2. Any sources you recommend for finding qualified cleaners? 

3. Do you look to train someone or do you expect someone to be trained?

3. How do you structure paying your cleaners? Let's say for a 1/1 or 2/1. (per job, per hour, per bedroom/bathroom, salary, ...)

4. Anything you can share about your experience with finding local/remote cleaners?

I appreciate your response and thank you in advance!
