So I am going to continue to mentally cross off those places that just seem to be a logistical challenge, no matter how great the view.

The tenant scheduled a ACH payment in the system and the system marked it as paid or pending or something like that in my view.

I have an old house on an exceptional lot (great street and mountain views, larger lot for area) in an area of SE Denver in which new houses can sell for more than 3M.

As for VRBO versus Airbnb, generally speaking, VRBO is going to get more views in the Smokies than will Airbnb.

I won’t be surprised if keeping copies of ID on file becomes a requirement and I view that as a positive.

This is because lenders view investment properties held by LLCs as riskier than owner-occupied properties.

What I can say is that RentRedi is a complete management service that manages the entire process from marketing for tenants, through pre-qualification, scheduling viewings with calendly.com, the application, the background check/credit check/eviction check; automatic rent collection, repair/maintenance management: the whole nine. 

I get why any would view it as a MLM, heck I did, because in a lot of ways it resembles one.

And most importantly in my view.

Most of these syndication, are typically promoting "the STR market" rather than their actual track record.The moment I clicked "View more details" of their holding , I can see their future booking.My respond was ............ nahhhh, my STR is performing way better for them.You could forecast their revenue by checking future booking.
