Once you have this team in place, you should have the foundation to invest in any market confidently while not being there physically.A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in Midwest markets like Columbus and Cleveland, OH because of the affordability and numbers making more sense. 

A homeowner can get as many bids as they like from participating HERO contractors and there are plenty contractors to choose from, just check the HERO directory.

If it is highly compeitive like my market of Orlando, guests have thousands of homes to choose from, so they will filter differently than someone that is going to Ft.

If you know how to Airbnb and know your expected return and have to choose legally from these two options, I think the first is better.

If I was looking for a policy on a "cookie cutter" single family home or apartment, there is hundreds/thousands of companies out there to choose from.

it seems that they pick and choose which people they remove.   

I'm overwhelmed by which market(s) to choose. 

It was pretty exclusive list that was tedious to create.

This exclusion is only available for properties that have been used as a primary residence for the required period.Additionally, you won’t qualify for 1031 exchange benefits or long-term capital gains advantages unless you hold the property for more than a year or live in it for at least two years.

Your situation (different country, Airbnb income, longer hold time) may not fit this model exactly.Negotiating Better Terms:With the bank: Shop around for better rates, consider a larger down payment for better terms.With real estate agents: Offer exclusivity for a lower rate, or consider handling the sale yourself if legal in Georgia.Holding Period: Given the strong Airbnb cash flow, holding longer could be beneficial, especially if the market is appreciating.
