Even if it's "close enough", it's not a reliable metric. 

Really need to build a team of reliable people in new for me area.

start with professional or nuce pics and a good listing. get vacation rental insurance and a reliable house cleaner and you're good to go. also make sure you line up back up cleaners in case they flake. also get coded door locks so guests can self check in yet not lose the key. is that what you meant?

Any specific brand you have found to be more reliable than the others?

Most of my clients who do the AirBnB route manage it all themselves and either have a reliable cleaner on-call or do it all themselves, pocketing the 'cleaning fee'.

Probably very lazy and self entitled, I may be wrong but not likley.Co-signer or not the money from the mother is not reliable, when she stops supporting her leach of a daughter or dies you have a problem.

That's why I believe the best, most reliable resource in any market is the community of active investors/landlords/wholesalers operating within that market.When I need to get caught up on a new market, I search right here on BiggerPockets for members operating there and ask for their help.

Looking to get into real estate investing in the hopes of building a reliable source of passive income for my family.

Otherwise it is going to be a tenant pays down loan and appreciation play.To get the true cash flow plays in good areas with trustworthy and reliable providers it can be a good deal more challenging than it was even 18 months ago, but they are still out there. 

So, where I like now particularly now for turnkey opportunities with good reliable companies at that price point are Dayton, Oh, NW Indiana, and Kansas City, MO.
