The people there I have gotten to know and I will say I distrust them the least of all business people I have ever met!

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

I would like to learn the business.

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

If you are trying to get a cash out refi, I would think the bank would want to see the correct type of insurance for the business you are running.
