I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

This used to be a near-impossible task for a company like BiggerPockets, but technology and 3rd party solutions are getting better.

A report from Apartments.com shows that 178,000 newly constructed units entered the market in Q3, bringing the projected year-end total to 636,000 units.

For instance, in my private lending, I dont really give a numerical credit score much weight, but I absolutely look at the composition and history of the individual tradelines on a report if the borrower is a smaller outfit, such as a single member LLC or similar solopreneur-type operator.

This allows you to report the rental income and expenses directly on Schedule E of your joint tax return, simplifying your tax filing process.

Usually having a servicing company helps the lender to consider that.  

use STR reports it's more representative of major hotel markets and hotel inventory. find hte right brand. we just did a 150 page report on one development site.

Hi @Frank Pyle,**I am not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned**To secure long-term financing for your Airbnb, look for DSCR lenders that accept pro forma income instead of requiring 12 months of rental history.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.
