Here is my info. five two zero eight hundred four two O eight. 

There are issues with some lots, that they won't pass the perk test and therefore are unbuidable, and unbuidable because means they have little value.Many lots also have unpaid delinquent taxes, so that's another caution, and some lots have HOA fees which can be hundreds or thousands if unpaid for past years.

As property manager we have the right and the physical and electronic safety guards to capture their SS number if they have one (this required an on site visit to our office to verify that each computer was password protected, that we had locking file cabinets etc).

You will need to get to managing hundreds for that to be worthwhile.

Some people treat their STR like a hobby and others treat it like a business.You don’t know the numbers are based on if owners use it 3 months a year themselves, or manage it themselves and have STR knowledge or farm it out to a competent or incompetent property manager.In one area I invest in, the biggest players are all large direct booking sites with hundreds of properties so their revenue doesn’t show up on airDNA, etc.Use conservative numbers and understand your skills in terms of getting a property to be unique, marketing, listing management, etc. or the competency of the PMs you are interviewing.Good luck!

Great market selections, I've helped hundreds of investors invest passively in DFW, HOU and SAN. 

They pay hundreds per month for this data (myself included) and they don't typically give out that information for free to a non-client (myself included).

As you scale, if bookkeeping isn't fun for you,consider hiring a bookkeeper for a couple hundred bucks per month.
