Use the top three or four discriminators so applicants can screen themselves.Then you need to have clear screening criteria yourself.

As a rental strategy for non owner occupants, it absolutely is a fantastic way to generate the highest return, that's true.....but also, and most importantly, your screening has to be on point, and without that, it won't be as effective because one bad roommate can ruin the environment for the other roommate tenants. 

The property, though is not beach front, nor does it has ocean view, is just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the west, which are great for surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving.In the 1.21 acres there is a main single family home (4 br) which was divided in two sections one of which is being rented.

Went and viewed about 10 properties, made an offer on one without a buyer's agent, so that the selling agent would double end the deal and they accepted a below ask offer at a time when prices were climbing.How did you finance this deal?

NY isn’t the best state for landlords, but if you screen tenants well it isn’t all that bad.Once you pick a market find a rockstar agent.

The key for any tenant, S8 or not, is screening, imo. 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Alternatively, you may want to consider switching to a platform that offers this level of transparency.Additionally, on both Airbnb and Vrbo, if you have access to the account, you can view the transaction history.

Also, would you be willing to message me a link to one of your Booking.com listings so I can see the format, etc from a customer point of view?

On top of that, we have found that homes with a great view (forest or lake view), or proximity to the clubhouse tend to book better.
