Customer Focus: (tenants) Never forget the end-user of your properties.

Customer Focus: (tenants) Never forget the end-user of your properties.

Hi @Amy Davidson,To me seems like a specialty item for those building a custom home, with a builder who excels with using that material.

If you know what you want to do and what an ideal customer looks like, you have a starting point.

Often times those who enter the alt lending space wind up with novices as their customer base with poorly located collateral and limited experience.  

Unfortunately, you have to call these OTA's many times over until you get a customer service rep who sympathizes, is knowledgeable about the platform rules and is willing to actually help you.If you don't want to ride it out, i think you have options.

So for credit, set a minimum but look at pattern of payment and Debt to income.   

Everyone has opinions but some are not based in reality.If you are not providing significant services, like daily cleaning, on site chef for meals, custom tours etc. you should be filing on a schedule E. https://theshorttermshop.com/is-short-term-rental-schedule-e...

The STR would be appropriately categorized as an "other passive activity", not a "rental real estate activity with active participation" as, again, a rental with an average period of customer use of seven days or less is not a rental activity under the passive activity loss rules.

A super basic step one would be to set up a "newly listed within the last week" custom search on Crexi, Loopnet, whatever.
