So I have recently listed my rental unit on various sites.

@Greg Scott thanks for the mention:)@Usman Khan welcome to the "fun" of S8, where you can rarely get ahold of anyone at a Housing Commission office:( THey are all overworked and underpaid.Reference this for your S8 training and maintenance:https://dhcmi.org/sites/default/files/upload/LandlordGuideBo...

They list properties on their own site, plus Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com.

I will be here for 6 months to a year and looking to continue hands on support/experience.I am a construction manager and have a lot of background in contractor management, site scheduling, and quality control.

Give your guests high speed internet and smart TV's - they can use their own log ins for the streaming sites.

Search engines index the site VERY quickly. 

There are some types of trusts that bring a lot of protection, but you generally lose control of your assets and they are managed by someone else. 

Losing 60+ % of your population for a city of this size is unprecedented.  

Also, as they say... not your keys, not your coins--so better have a very deep trust in whatever site you go with. 

I'm with you that sidewalk slip and fall litigation may be less likely in the Midwest than say Mid Atlantic which tends to have more litigious cities but dismissing premises liability issues can come back to bite an investor and when these properties have such razor thin margins that an investor must consider the cost benefit analysis of safety against ROI, there is a real estate issue and is usually a losing proposition.
