Post: Airbnb vs. Furnished Finder

@Brandon Spurlock FF & Airbnb both have their pros and cons. Furnished Finder for example depending on your market may not be the best option if you're renting out an entire place because nurses might not want to pay what you need just to make the mortgage and utilities however if you are renting by the room it may make more sense but of course, all of this is market dependent. You can google the average stipends for housing for travel nurses in your area and make that decision. 

Airbnb on the other hand is dependent upon how you set up your calendar. I get a lot of mid-term rentals through Airbnb because I have my calendar set up to attract them and I set my listing up to cater to business travelers.

You using your realtor network is a great way to get good clientele. You can also find people that are going through claims on their homes and need temporary housing. This is a great market because insurance is covering the cost of the stay. 

All and all its about knowing your target clientele and catering to them.

I moved to Arlington in 2013 and I love it. I live on the southside and it's in between Dallas and Fort Worth so there is always something to do.

@Tsipora Smith I'll be doing a refinance at the end of the rehab. I'll definitely keep this strategy in mind for flips. This is a really good idea.

@Scott Mac Thanks for this! I have found the right person or the job because they have done other work regarding my properties in the past but never overlooked a rehab.

I have an out of state rehab I'm about to start and I wanted to know what other investors are paying someone to be their boots on the ground to overlook the rehab process. I have someone that is interested in doing it but I'm not sure how much I should be paying them for this type of work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
