Since then I have purchased properties off the traditional MLS, Off Market, and at auctions.

My question is if I was going to do a mid term rental, would there be any benefit to using AirBNB as a host as opposed to my traditional property management company which also does 30 days leases?

I imagine your model isn't set up like a traditional listing platform.

I put them in an LLC whenever I can but I've not found a traditional lender that will allow it.

These strategies can sometimes offer better cash flow compared to traditional LTR, especially in markets where property prices and rents do not align with the 1% rule.I encourage you to expand your criteria and consider these alternative strategies.

My wife is more of the traditional W2 worker who just invests in her 401k and thinks real estate is risky.

We also heard a lot of chatter and a lot of interest in some traditionally less sexy, midwestern markets like Kansas City, Columbus, etc.

@Mike MutabaziIf you are planning on getting traditional financing for each property, then you will need to find some way to provide a down payment.

This would be used as an alternative to the traditional wholesaler's assignment agreements.  

@Christian Dozier best place to start is local RE groups, find a wholesaler or someone in acquisitions and figure out how to add enough value to take you under their wing.
