You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”

What if franchising is part of the strategy, with a long-term goal of acquiring properties as well?

hopefully your inspection went well. wish i would have seen your post earlier i would have been happy to help you out with your inspection. but to answer your question, there really isn't anything you need to "ask" your inspector to look for. if he is a good inspector he will know what to look for and what defects are major and should be addressed immediately and which defects are minor.

All have performed well and rent easily.

As Jay mentioned they must be NMLS licensed if owner occupant of in several states even commercial needs licensing.The NMLS is like the database, each state has a division of banking that oversees lending requirements then you also on the federal level have CFPB as well as consumer protection laws.I want to add that I believe yesterday the CFPB is undergoing changes, but if it goes away that does not mean that many of the laws in place especially consumer protection laws would go away. 

And you can be a landlord that gets a very poor return because they haven't utilized their space well by changing the layout.

Additionally, the STR market is quite oversaturated right now as well

They made contact with me as well but I don't want to get sucked into a scam. 

I had looked into Pricelabes a couple years ago and didn't think it worked well for my market, but sometimes think about retrying it because so many seem to rely on it.

If you haven't checked the market for homes with "inlaw suites" or whatever your market equivalent is that can be a way to get it done as well.
