So just do bank statement loan if your monthly 'revenue' can support it. 

In the first 10 days listed on Airbnb, the STR rental revenue booked covered the entire mortgage.Lessons learned?

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.I have also shifted my focus to buying better.

What I have seen is an internal sales team (AE's/Reps who split their time between referral partner development and managing their pipeline) combined with someone solely responsible for digital marketing (social media, SEO, ppc).

Revenue stream.  

Most don't have the systems and processes internally that institutions require.  

There's no $$$$ in teaching you how to implement the action items I shared above which is why the higher revenue generating systems are sold, usually to real estate investors who don't know any better. 

That said it is possible that you need to evaluate your stays and decide if it is worth taking shorter stays or sticking to some longer stays to reduce your time commitment and maximize the revenue for time invested.

Would real estate prices in certain regions rise rapidly due to demand from both local and international buyers? 

you not on one of the major listing sites you are missing a lot of revenue potential Penny wise dollar poor
