While I personally have no use for the model, if you approach it in the manner you're describing I'm sure you will get a lot more attention and traction - especially your last quote: "How do I profitably solve problems for the people I want to work with?"

Describe 2 of the most interesting aspects of your career or experience:1.

MTR is really just a new term to describe a furnished LTR, and more recently those are often for less than a year stay but they've been around forever.

The word "stark" doesn't even begin to describe the contrast.Also, be careful of OneRate - they've increased the pricing, started removing coverage, and have had their CEO warn them of overselling its features, all within the last year. 

Even to just use a blanket "Linden" to describe the neighborhood does not really allow for the nuance of the area.

Find 3rd party ways to verify the owner and employment as described. it would be very odd to have both an employer and landlord in two different states thousands of miles away that share an area code with the perspective tenant that is not in the market the home market of the PM or the employer.

The guests are a couple who exclusively do co-living properties just like you are describing.

These areas you are describing rarely appreciate, so the pricing is low and you can cash flow, but, as I said, at the end of the day, it is very hard to manage these types of properties.

@Dan Kiely, I have connections to multiple investor-friendly Agents around Houston with great deals like you described...

Let me make my question more specific:Do all the events you described affect (adversely) your revenue?
