The issue is tech savvy customers have figured out how to scam it and I can’t get satisfaction from their customer support.

If you log on to some of the popular sites like furnishedfinder or Airbnb you will see that they have "rent by the room" options.

For my multi-family properties, we get quality leads from Apartments.com and Zillow.I believe if you have a bigger pockets pro membership you can get lease agreement customized for any state.

My long winded question is this:What are some fresh new money-making strategies ( real-estate or not ) that aren’t on the hype yet, that don’t take much start up capital, similar to wholesaling before it got popular?

I get it from their view, customers book a place and then have it cancelled on them.

They also have great insight on what is popular for your local market, that you can use to boost the listing.Also, take a good hard look at your property, decor and popular amenities help far more than hosts realize.

The military base is close by and it is a popular area for rentals.

Very popular for investors in your situation.

.- I think by the time, its new business model would be tested by market and new winner would be elected.It's all interesting and good for customer LOL

The realtor now can only work with half of their potential customers.
