I'm new to hosting on Airbnb/short-term rentals, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Moving on to hosting myself!  

I have been listening to the Real Estate Rookie Podcast and have heard many things about STR's and co-hosting.

Then our students were having a crazy hard time with the current leading website provider and I had to come in and fix a bunch of crap that was wrong with said internet hosting and template provider so much so that they stopped offering our students support due to "custom code" on our websites.So I said fine.

I'll check my network for any MTR property managers or co hosts in Louisville.

There are a couple meetups in the area (we host one of them) if you want to DM me for more info or any questions you have

The data we have seen shows obviously Malls, Hotels, Casinos, Strip Malls as being hit the hardest. 

I hosted attorney panels in local REI clubs, and there never was any consensus.In our great state of Texas, your best option could be a Series LLC: one LLC that has individual compartments for each property.

The recent NFL Draft, hosted by Detroit, brought in over 300,000 visitors who's attitudes about Detroit did a 180.Detroit also beat out Miami last year for the city with the highest appreciation rate in the US.It's not all unicorns & rainbows though, as there are still many areas of the city investors should avoid, which scammers keep trying to sell to naive OOS investors.PM us if you'd like to know more about how we've assisted hundreds of investors make logical investment choices in Detroit and avoid portfolio crushing mistakes:)

Thankfully, these are few and far between if you’re a good host and take care of your property.
