Internet chatter is a good starting point but most of my investors say the gold is going deal and taking relationships offline. 

I am working on a product that will help small-medium size landlords launch and maintain Internet presence at a small monthly cost without spending big budget on custom development.It will include: SEO, custom domain, direct syncing with your property management software, syncing with QB. 

If the internet provider supplies a modem/router combo then you use what they give you. 

Are you saying "don't read, don't research, stay off the internet, just connect with a team" isn't great advice?

He charged me a few thousand dollars for information that is repackaged and rebranded, because you can simply find it on the internet!

Net income would be the Host Payout of $541.26.But your true net is what's left over after deducting all expenses not accounted for in this calculation, such as utilities, internet, consumables, etc.

There are quite a lot of repairs or daily requests from guests, more bookkeeping due to consumables, extra utilities, pool service, lawn service, internet, etc.  

I'm not requesting a frank loyd wright design, basically, I'm looking for a modern style that we see all over the internet. 

No internet = no tenants a lot of the times...Ensure them you'll leave them a fair reference if any future landlords contact you about their tenancy.

But if your buying existing seconds these safeguards wont exist these have to be new origination.
