Quote from @Andrew Steffens: Sorry about your frustrating issue - Airbnb is not only guest friendly but most of the time they will be the one paying for damage so they are going to try to minimize you. 

DM me if you need a contact for an investor-friendly lender.

I recently helped a friend who was in a similar position - looking to tap into equity for a rental property purchase in Phoenix.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

You won't have the options that you have here in Austin, mainly because Portland is Tenant Friendly City and Pfugetville is Landlord friendly.

That was a substantial discount compared to my friends who were paying 2k+.

One of my friend happens to be a RE agent, landlord and a property manager himself and he seems to feel that as long as she pays rent on time and does not create nuisance, not to worry much and just keep do a quarterly property inspection.
