 Looks promising thank you!

Anyone have experience with homebase.ai?  

It looks like it connects up with appfolio which could be really slick.

Thanks in advance for your consideration. I'm putting in a 20-30 door complex and would like to reduce key management overhead with technology.

Are there any smart lock systems that would give wireless entry to common areas and specific units based on fob/card/phone proximity scan and/or location detection? 

I'd love for it to be a low-management system, dead simple to re-assign or "rekey" fob/card/phone tenant access to units based on lost devices or occupancy.

Thanks for the discussion. Without a W-2, you'll find you need bigger down payments, assets for collateral or creative financing options. This is definitely one of the lesser-known drawbacks of entrepreneurship.

Following for the great insights, thank you for kicking this off. 

What I see lacking is a pre-purchase section covering inspection and update expenses. Occupancy & maintenance are going to the be biggest risks to your STR, and I see you doing market research and prep, but most properties you buy will require some level of improvement to get to clean, comfortable, and even luxurious. You need that inspection, along with a good contractor, to price out these improvements and qualify whether or not you are still getting your return.
