That "pipe" is known as a Line Set. 

Quote from @Duane Richards: @Sundone Boutvyseth I also did a 10% on STR in Florida last year, it's worked out really well, but went through a national lender.

My wife and I thought we had an easy opportunity for a double (baseball analogy) with a flip home in Lakeland, TN we were able to get well below market this past summer.

I would be interested to hear others' experience as well.

Incidentally, I cancelled last year when it auto renewed as well - I guess I've got to completely delete my profile and close the attached credit card for a cancellation to stick?

I have 10 years of construction experience and my partner does as well.

I'm fairly new in the industry as well, and most of the sources I've checked at first require a subscription (CoStar, WSJ), but I found this newsletter called Zeroflux Real Estate who consolidate real estate news from such sites.

If they are nice enough for AirBnB, then you are probably ok there as well since the stays will be short. 

There are many other options as well including some that are included in property management software products. 

I am a licensed agent in Kansas and Missouri as well as looking for my first investment.
