If I was to do another house flip, I would definitely hire more things done to avoid trying to do the work around my regular job.

The SS number, driver's license, birth date, and address are all good for checking their credit, and their account information reflects their ability to make regular rent payments.Also get information for their social network accounts.

I'm sure if you search the forums you'll find some valuable info, this is talked about regularly here. best of luck! 

If it was an accident-storm, crack in foundation, etc, I would do the regular checks and rent to them provided you are fine with the pets.

House is rented out regularly but also has a 2nd homesite that has a septic installed & perked for 2 Bed.

I have a mix of section 8 and regular cash tenants.

Then, once you have carried that for a certain time period other 'regular' insurers will take you back.  

Rather I'm looking for a mature STR market with enough supply that makes it worthwhile for my co-hosting business to bring our services.One variable I'm digging into is how many STRs are self-managed vs managed by a PM or co-host.

Car washes require regular maintenance, collecting cash, etc.

I think I’ll keep this as a regular single family and work on another.
