I work in engagement marketing and deal with construction tradesmen all day, usually more custom type tradespersons with a lot of care and concern for their own work, which may glamorize it more than I realize.

They are a great crowd, and networking was amazing.I just finished the self paced course and just got off the phone with them concerning the Gold and Platinum programs for mentorship.  

One of my concerns is that lenders won't lend to potential buyers because it is a modular home.

I know many people have done it this way,  but two major parts I am concerned about are 1) how do you handle all the paperwork such as W2's, 1099's business records, etc. without meeting in person?

If you try to go over the whole list, you’ll lose the attention of an average person and they won’t remember anything!

I'm not sure if I'm making too much of this but my concern is that if I was the one looking for a property in the area:- I would discard the property without looking at it because the competition has higher ratings.- If I still look at it, I would discard it because why take the risk on a bad sofa when I can rent a similar property without such comment.- Once we get more great reviews, the influence of that one will reduce but we have to make sure it doesn't prevent us to get bookings in the first place!

I'll also add that guidelines change over time. just because they don't like it now doesnt mean they wont decide later to be okay with it.  

Transparency, daily & weekly updates and follow-up with all concerned parties.

A traditional single-family rental may net you only $280/month, whereas a co-living setup can bring in over $1,100/month from the same property.4.

I’m not a big phone guy but I’d be happy to reply over and over to DMs or emails.
