I have been using the BIS site, and as Llewelyn mentioned, the Dept of Finance tax code is 2 family, but no CofO from DOB to support. 

Those sites have the best marketing photos, but that's not where the potential costs are.

There are other sites and also insurance housing companies that focus on longer furnished stays (for instance, furnished finder), but having done both MTR and STR I much prefer STR.

Regularly performing or overseeing maintenance and repairs c.

Perform a deep dive research into all legal aspects of the specific investment.  

All I am asking is a reference to a bank that has a good web site that will allow me to do all my online transactions and be easy to work with.

I've had issues with their system not notifying me when a tenant has a maintenance issue and there are times the site is requires me to clear my cookies before I can see anything in there.

There are budget-friendly self-management sites that make setting up applications and collecting rent simple and again, you can pocket that 12%.

You can check their insurance coverage, any active lawsuits they have, their workers comp rate (how safe they are on the job site), and other metrics.

Should we pursue the STR strategy and aim to be one of the top-performing properties in the market to increase cash flow, potentially  up to $1,000 a month?
