They want each guest to personally come and provide the information and payment (possibly for their own liability insurance).

My wife are in escrow on our first rental property purchase (in the Columbus, Ohio market) and are underway with inspection, finalizing the loan, getting quotes on homeowners insurance, interviewing property managers, etc.

The first mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc on this property have all been paid as agreed during this time.

Also, explain how you'll share the acquisition costs, such as the down payment, renovation, and closing costs.Payment Responsibilities: Explain how to divide and pay for regular costs like mortgage, property taxes, insurance, homeowners association fees (if applicable), and upkeep expenses.Management and Maintenance: Agree on how property maintenance, repairs, and improvements will be handled, including decision-making processes, funding for these activities, and responsibilities for performing or managing the work.Single Decision Point: For example, I've seen situations where one person agreed to replace an appliance while another strongly opposed it.

@Dayana Castellon the only marketing that would make sense is marketing Airbnb & VRBO are NOT covering already.Maybe market directly to insurance companies looking for rentals for their clients needing temporary housing while their fire-damaged home is being repaired.Corporate travel departments might be another option.Hospitals with resident doctor programs.The challenge will be doing this marketing efficiently enough to make it worthwhile.

example: Car insurance liability coverage is to $300,000. 

Make sure your insurance also allows for the AIRBNB. 

I intend to pay all cash, thereby removing the requirement for flood insurance. 

The area looks to be a decent area for STR rentals and has potential to be a great investment if that goes well, we won't have a mortgage on the property so outside of taxes/insurance/utilities it should be easy to cash flow.

If the property doesn't meet the DSCR or the value basedon the market cap rate, your down payment will increase to bring up the DSCR orclose the gap to cap-rate value.Challenges/Lessons Learned: Just becauseyou can buy a property with a CMHC insured loan doesn't mean it is a good deal.We've seen a lot of investors agree to pay too much for the properties, and getshocked with a big down payment and low cashflow due to the low DSCRrequirements.
