A few years back, I was asked by Airbnb to take part in a worldwide hosting study and, as a result, they shared the conclusions with me.

It's rather informal as of now, but I forsee it picking up more steam this year.Peers consist of 0~50+ unit property owners ranging from SFH's, 12-Plex Multifamily, Mixed-Use commercial, and so on.I intend to host our next meeting in Garrison as It's between Minot and Bismark, and we have the perfect building for a meetup!

Or they simply get tired of being on call with guests, 24/7 (yes, there are co-hosts and VA's, but that is another person to manage).We just took on a home that was previously owner-managed - it had tons of deferred maintenance and the calendar was 50% empty.

I'm actually hosting my Meetup this month (5/23) at the house if you are in the area and want to stop by to meet some local investors let me know. 

I help host one here and its always a great time! 

We are working on it, and a host of other features.

Hosting a website through Squarespace is relatively straight forward and cheap.

Home inspector, property manager (some states require various licensing), admin at a realtor office, contractor / trade apprentice, landscaper, home painter, lender, wholesaler, or co host / arbitrage STRWorking at a Lowe's or Home Depot would be good too.

A lot of the popular, no money needed, strategies like being a wholesaler, getting a partner to fund the deal, or STR co-hosting / arbitrage are a bit of a paradox because the people that have the expertise to effectively implement these strategies are typically the experienced folks that don't need no money down strategies to invest.

With VRBO the host is always tracking down payments, whether it's from VRBO or especially the guest.
