Consider me a friend in the charlotte market and let's grab coffee (there are many cute coffee shops here and I can tell you where to find the good texmex)

I had a friend who bought on Clifton and Bedford ten years before me.

I don't believe my modded system at home is user-friendly enough for randos at an STR.

Check out FilePlace, where user-created forms are available for free.

Quote from @John Brown: I have a friend with a property in a very desirable location in Texas that I believe would be great for STR.

My new friend @Gabe Chase just put together a STR Mastermind for Property Managers (and we're looking for new members to join us!).

From there, it requires the ability to conduct underwriting the highest and best use of a planned project, which requires a pro forma built by the user or acquired from a competent 3rd party. 

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

(You won't make any friends. 

Quote from @Gregory Schwartz: I have 2 very close friends who grew well beyond 2 rentals with this strategy.
