This is our boilerplate language:Insurance: Tenant should obtain a renters’ policy of insurance on their personal property.

Marketing-Ready Design – Your rental should look as good on camera as it does in person.

With all the resources available today to research and learn about the industry, I’m surprised this “easy money” mindset persists.To me, real estate is far from passive or simple.

Like @John Underwood said, your cleaner and handy person can be of great help getting things done.

My name is Carsyn Childress, and I work in the acquisitions department at REI Nation, i.e.

Where buyers/tenants can view dozens of properties in a day to screen out less desirables then schedule with a real agent to see the home in person!

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

Instead of debates and personal opinion, look for proof https://www.ladbs.org/docs/default-source/forms/plan-check-2017/single-family-dwelling-duplex-plan-review-list.pdf under G (Interior Env) which defines the minimum requirement of a habitable room (aka bedroom or bathroom).

I’m from Miami would love to start an Airbnb in Orlando I can not say from personal experience.

From experience, I’d recommend getting pre-approved, improving your debt-to-income ratio if needed, and researching local assistance programs.
