We did make a beeline back, cut out visit a day short, though there's very little we can do aside from talk to insurance and talk to the mitigation/restoration company as they work to stabilize the house. 

I only give them a short time (usually 5 days total from the contract to hold) to meet for the lease signing before they lose their exclusive rights to the unit, so this prevents someone from dragging their feet after they've signed the contract to hold.Once the lease is signed, I take down the ads and send out emails to people in mid-marketing flow letting them know that the apartment has been rented but I will reach out if something falls through.

Another big question is, do you want the headache of self-managing a short term rental?

That's short term and long-term, it just does not add up.I am expecting some form of disruption in the industry, but things are so tight in RE it won't happen anytime soon or it'll happen sooner because of how tight it is.  

Hello BPers,I am an investor investigating the eastern Michigan market for flips, short term rentals and buy and holds. 

The cheaper price point often comes with older housing stock that needs more work.Not saying Cleveland/Akron are bad markets - plenty of investors do well there!

Have some real estate under my belt but looking into Short term rentals opposed to long term rentals.Wondering if there is a stand out book to read to gain understanding for Australian Short Term rental market/AIRBNB.Also if there is a specific group for Australians and short term rentals for Australian market/Australian tax system etc, do point me to that.Rod

I've bet on the stock market and I've played slow and steady income on the stock market.

Short answer: No.

Regarding any short term private lending we do, we do not offer any incentives or special programs.
