Gratitude overflows for me, as this group got me launched 5 years ago into the world of hosting vs landlording.  

I've host monthly REI meetups via Biggerpockets and the local investor Facebook group that I run.

I'm actually interviewing PMs and CO Hosts this week, and Handyman for installation of all the furnishings set to show up at the property in January. 

Consider Autohost or Hostfully both offer robust guest verification and deposit collection, tailored for professional hosts.

In my airbnbs, I have hosted several California natives looking to invest and or move to Detroit.

It is close to the downtown area but the majority of area is bigger lots and on the other side of a prominent hill that gives it a more out in the country feelFoothills is the most exclusive areas with higher price points and lots of upper end shopping and diningMarana and Oro Valley are the newer "suburban" areas of Tucson that have the laid back walking and biking paths, golf clubs, snow bird / retiree type activities that draw visitors in and then get hooked and eventually buy homesIf you haven't tried Tucson yet, there is quite the variety and with snowbirds leaving, there are plenty of current STR's ready to host you as the summer warms up. 

You can find plenty of markets where nobody builds and you won't get competition but you won't get bookings either because there's no demand.It has been proven that, with short term rentals, it's the really professional hosts that make the bulk of the money (think the 80 - 20) rule.

I’d definitely be interested in learning more about the group and any events they host on real estate investing and flipping.

Also worth noting you get a free month of Host Camp.

If its at all helpful for you I host NYC house hacking happy hour every month on zoom.
