The 100/150-hour rules you’ve seen are likely referring to material participation, which is necessary for short-term rentals (STRs) to be treated as non-passive income.

As for how they know they’re getting a good deal, some of these sites that allow you to list your tradelines and match you up with renters/borrowers (or however you wanna refer to them) will list out the details of the tradeline that matter such as how long the credit line’s been open, the credit limit, balance on the card and your credit score.

@Michael PetersRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Hi @Juan MoraThis website is a great reference point for figuring out what each area is like.

Perhaps you are referring to a seller carry back?

Thank you  I personally refer to this article:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-to-screen-tenants

Also what platform(s) are you using to create and host your website (wix, wordpress, squarespace, etc)?

Don't listen to your agent at all, go on rentometer, airDNA, and other websites to help you make an educated decision on how your property will rent.
