I find this screens out any guests that could have issues and lays the groundwork for a great stay.It also weeds out folks (in our case) that aren't understanding the distance to town and certain activities in our area.

I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

  $200/month divides into the $100K initial negative equals 500 months to recover the initial negative equity.Let's double the cash flow to $400/month.  250 months to recover the initial negative equity so over 20 years.Let's reduce the negative equity position to $50K (which likely is less realistic than expecting $400/month cash flow at that rent point), you are at over 10 years to recover the initial equity position.Now let's do it with all cash, no financing.The 50% rule state $900/month cash flow.  900 * 12/200K = $5.4% or about half of lifetime return of S&P 500, or what can almost be achieved with a zero work, zero risk CD.I see no way that someone who understands the numbers will call this a good investment.Note just because an investment is better than most other investments in a market does not imply something is a good investment. 

While I have a general understanding of what it takes to set up a fund, I’d love to tap into the collective wisdom here.

I'm not understanding the purpose of wanting to refi.As for the phone calls, look up trigger leads and how to opt out.

This is where Americans who understand how to navigate international financing, property laws, and cultural nuances can create deals rather than just buy into the hype.

They have taken strides to pave the way for ADUs - here’s the implications for real estate investors.It's crucial to understand Raleigh’s zoning rules for ADUs BEFORE deciding to implement this strategy on your current or future long term rental, Airbnb, student housing, MTR, house hack, flip, etc.

Understand your area some; how is inventory, how is DOM, what is sale to list price?

From my understanding doesn't seem as though it would pass through, rather the fund would benefit and therefore returns would be better.

It’s a good idea to speak directly with an insurance agent who understands multi-unit properties to customize coverage for your specific situation.
