I regularly attend workshops and seminars to stay updated on industry trends and best practices.

Years ago, when I was in the retail leasing phase, I was regularly presented with this sort of nonsense and consistently refused to sign.

You don't have the benefit of maximizing cost segregation, long term capital gain, 1031 exchange, refinancing / lending, passive income vs regular income, etc.  3. 

Some reassess taxes when a property is sold, others do it yearly or every couple of years, regardless of sales.You can ask the county assessor how they handle reassessments and whether it’s tied to sales or a regular schedule.

Most issues will pop up in the first few months as guests use the place regularly, so have a good relationship with a handyman and maybe throw him some small jobs so that he will be on standby when needed.

They generally have large portfolios allowing for in house maintenance and management staff along with a point person who is communicating with the local housing authority on a regular basis and has the ability to streamline operations. 

I have one property under contract that will work well and I'm looking at another or potentially turning one of my regular rentals into an Oxford house in spring or summer 2020.

I'm thinking of a client who is about to offer on vacation rental cabin in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, and they've got these great aspens off the deck that are blazing yellow right now.Hell, I could see three sets of photographs for the Colorado STR host who wants to go all out.

Quote from @Jeremy Holden: Im an investor, host and agent in phoenix who specializes in short term rentals.

I assume you could take a similar approach with Redfin, Realtor etc etc.There are STR sites like Rabbu that present deals regularly but not sure if these are sold furnished.
