I like smaller companies whose owners are not brand new but not old and burned out either.

Fellow STR owner/manager from TX.I do think there is value in having some pre guest documentation in the event that you have a guest come in and make false claims about cleanliness, etc. 

If it gets rented the owner will update the listing with a new available date; if this moves by 30 days or more you can reasonably assume it was rented.

You may end up with a little more vacancy today because you stuck to your guns but if your criteria are solid you will have better overall results in the long run and investing is for the long haul.

I sat in on a lot of the meetings with owners/city and it seems for the most part to me, the city is just not interesting in AirBnB and as an investor, that's not a good place to be or be right.There will always be probably a few people who skirt the law or think they have a good workaround, but often catch 22. 

If you don't plan on paying cash and have to leverage with an owner-occupied loan product then you should set up your LLC as a property management company because you will not be able to borrow in the name of the LLC.  

These loans allow buyers to finance both the purchase and the cost of repairs.Creative Real Estate Solutions: Sometimes, creative solutions like owner financing or lease options can attract buyers who might not be able to purchase outright but are interested in a property like yours.It's important to weigh the costs and benefits of each option.

There's bulk packs in our owner's closet that the cleaners can use to refresh supplies with or we just do a walmart.com order to resupply.We have gotten a number of positive comments in reviews on the pantry staples.  

Purchase price: $28,500 Cash invested: $28,500 Sale price: $80,000 Bought and sold a 3b/1b SFR with Owner Financing.

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.
