I also have  experience with Vrbo, Airbnb, Furnished Finder, and co-living. 

I rented out my first primary residence in Morrison, CO in 2018, and purchased my first true investment property in Highlands Ranch, CO in 2019. 

For example, many of the nicer ski towns around Colorado require first month, last month, plus the security deposit upon move-in which can easily amount to $7k+.

Working with these people for a year they never told me there are more fines for not prepaying.After the above I reach out to Matt Bontrager (Co-Owner) and have a chat with him where he tries to gaslight me into this all being my fault.

There are multiple ways to invest in RE: single family, multi-family,  long term rentals, mid-term rentals, short-term rentals, rent by the room, commercial, co-ownership, syndications (I personally won't do syndications) etc. 

It's also unlikely that you can convert a single-family home into a community center (not sure if you mean an actual community center or co-living space).

I own a 6BR short-term rental in Estes Park, Colorado, which generates a lot of laundry—especially because we use high-quality linens.

It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

We own and operate a mid size REI and property management company in Marquette Co. (~300 units or so). 

One of my units was a successful Airbnb that hit the market due to the changing Denver laws so I'm usually open to discussing arbitrage options on that property.
