Im back on bigger pockets after a long hiatus; trying to start up a STR from a owner occupied 2 family home with intent to advertise on furnished finder. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

In each category, note how much you are bothered or stressed on a 1 to 5 scale, with 1 = not bothered at all and 5 = stressed out: Pain Points Stress1 to 5 Pain Points Stress1 to 5 Unit turnover Exterior maintenance Advertising for available units Deferred capital expenditures Tenant screening rules Plumbing or electrical emergencies Tenant selection / discrimination rules Mortgage payments Documenting move-in conditions Bookkeeping and bill paying Documenting ongoing conditions Taxes and insurance premiums Dealing with tenant complaints Risk of late payments or non-payments Dealing with neighbor complaints Risk of property damage or vandalism Mold, termites and rodents Premises liability Interior maintenance Evicting tenants If your completed table has mostly 1s and 2s, then congratulations—you are a happy landlord!

And that is my whole point: you can value a digital asset based on how much cash it generates. 

Santarelli as an absolute industry expert (podcast, websites, press, social media advertisement) cause investors to have a false sense of security.

@Grayson Chao look up WAREI on Facebook as that is a big active group of local investors and a number of meetups get advertised there. 

Homelessness is a big problem in CA but they are also doing more than any other state to address it and homelessness only increased 3% there last year compared to double digits in many other states.

@Rajagopalarao PaidiRecognize time is also money if you are financing it and I have found without an agent will take longer to sell.Also are you local where you could manage all the showings, advertising etc?

I understand the downsides (well not all of it since I am inexperienced) but just like LTR I believe there are risks with any form of investment.Thank you so much for the reply, I see I didn't know it was mumbo jumbo I thought it was "professional" formal talk I wanted to give off the impression of some form of professionality to build a rapport but you're right I should be more straightforward but I want to first ask if they're open to corporate leasing because I will be hosting via my LLC and since I'm going to most likely advertise towards Travel nurses it wouldn't only be on airbnb but on different sites like furnished booking so I wanted to leave it a bit ambiguous so that it can start a conversation rather than have it limited to only being seen as just another airbnb pitch.
