Even if you have little or no money - you can get started doing rental arbitrage or co-hosting.

I sign as agent of the property or Regional Manager of the mgt co and all rents have always been paid to and gone through my mgt corp.   

Hi Marc,I target anyone looking for a stay between 30-6 months depending on the location (I have some in FL and CO that I do MTR in).

I am undereducated on most other states but I imagine CO, CA, TN, NY etc all have thriving locations as well, just unsure about their regulations and returns especially in the high tax states.

@Nick Bradshaw I can't give advice for New York as I am located in Colorado Springs.

Looking for suggestions on co-hosting, STR market analysis, RE investing for or in retirement - just reading anything I can get my hands on in my (late in life) RE journey.

Commercial agents have additional incentives to do "pocket listings" in order to increase the likelihood of avoiding a co-op commission.

I'm also thinking about looking to co-share the ownership.  

Do check ins every 6 months-check the furnace filter and batteries in the smoke detectors/CO detectors to make sure they are working. 

The housing authority is a bit like a co-signer for the lease so they would just decline to sign on grounds of an unqualified property and the lease would never execute.
