There are many many pain points to having a large company run your STR, so the reviews should be closer to the bottom of the list. 

Purchase price: $182,000 Cash invested: $46,000 This house was listed on MLS.

Listing photos were terrible, tenant vetting was lackadaisical, checks were sent to wrong addresses, tennants weren't properly vetted, charges for "mulch" and landscaping were charged but never physically carried out.

@Andrew Liu you did not list the age of the house.

Once you've been preapproved, you can find an investor-focused agent in your market that will set you up with an email list of properties that match your criteria. 

Ability to create/find opportunities (off market deals, finding that diamond in the rough, exploring avenues where the rest of the crowd may be a few steps behind, having network of professionals who trust you and want to deal with you -- i.e. probate attorneys, CPA's, REO listing agents, wholesalers, etc.).  4.) 

I'm curious if anyone has built or has a list of companies that source Mid-Term Rental properties. 

The final pro for Omaha that I'll list, is that our Airfield (Eppley) is now in the process of adding an international expansion-- making it an even more attractive place to be that is centrally located, affordable, and primed for continued growth!

A lot of these numbers of what I have pulled from the real estate listing, and inquiring on property management/landlord insurance rates.I am not looking to make a fortune overnight and realize this would be a slow return on investment/passive income.

You sign a drawn out contract that gives the warranty company a long lists of outs and exclusions.
