Their interest, like a real estate agent, is simply to churn incoming flows of money at a high rate in order to get their Commission and their cut.

I never did do it, I ended up selling my house that I was thinking of using for that purpose.

20% is not high for managing a STR.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

It's likely a scam anytime they sound like AI or the grammar is weird or they use the word "kindly", if they ask for you to respond to them off-platform, if they say their employer will pay for it, if they ask if the dates they've specified are still open (when they can clearly see they are open on your calendar), if they ask for a video of your property (they probably want to set up a duplicate listing with your photos and video and scam others out of money), or if they want a long term booking and they have just joined the platform and have no reviews (could have been evicted from somewhere else, and hope a newbie will let them in with no background check, they'll end up not paying or credit card is bad).  

Second, I expressed concern over the appraisal rental analysis not being high enough and was told, "We are at a 1.22% DSCR ratio so we are good.”That was on Dec. 5.

I didn't hear back from them, and then I did one last effort to join Subto at the end of September of 2023.

Addicted to the process not the end result! 

Ensure lease executed ends April 30 to May 15 for the same reason.

My recommendation would be different if you were a high-income earner or if you wanted steady equity growth.
