Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

Let’s share our experiences so we can all navigate these challenges more effectively!

I have the credit, experience and the knowledge on how to underwrite the deal to show their ROI in this arrangement vs a traditional sale. 

They're pricey, and I'm keen to do some comparison shopping.

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.  

Quote from @Sherylyn Holden: I posted awhile back about the new short term rental rules in San Antonio here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1200417-new-...Wanted to share a brief update on my experience and some other helpful notes:The city is getting serious about these rules.

@Mike FitzPatrick  I have experience investing with them. 

I'm almost glad I got to experience the longer vacancy.

It is pricey and a little hard to make the numbers in my experience, but it is a vast area (S FL in general) so I am sure there are pockets where it makes sense. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.
