Have you had any success in just providing a lock box code?

Rather than lock in a year lease I tried my hand at short term rentals considering the house was located near the beach in a tourist town, it just made sense.

Would it be wise to set up a new business with he and I as registered agents and lock up deals under this entity?

Many homeowners seem to be converting their once primary residences into Airbnb rentals rather than selling, benefiting from their low-cost basis and the low mortgage rates they locked in.This pattern could persist, possibly diminishing the profitability of STRs for quite a few.

After you qualify for REPS, old losses remain locked.

With low mortgage and refinance ,it's like a lock for homeowner *not* to sell.This may change if there're massive layoffs in the public sector, but if unemployment goes up and inflation is up then most likely Fed will restart QE again.

I find that complaining usually falls on more receptive ears when a possible solution is also offered.

But it has to be locked up for 3 years to get 100% returns.

Ex. you normally do STRs and you are looking to finance a mixed-use multifamily deal, and you don't mind paying the 2% in broker fees to lock down financing.

Indeed it will be bad news for the consumer as a lot will get locked in with inexperienced / part time agents who never make the cut.
