I had a intro call with them on Friday and their business model sounds amazing, but maybe too amazing. 

A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

I would still contact the entities suggested, but if you want STR cash flow, it may be best for you to stick to the STR business model.

I needed to replace one, and they are very expensive compared to a standard 30” model.

I'm sure this model will be super helpful in other cities as well. 

This is not an unusual structure for investors with loads of experience and model that is proven to work, but for someone just starting out it makes no sense.Cheers!

I've modeled it out a couple of times. 

Based on the value of a property you can likely get away with a inexpensive desk top study such as condos and you will require a more comprehensive engineering study for larger properties like a 4plex.Desktop / modeling options are sometimes good for smaller residential like you mention. 

Cheers,Bill I am curious as blockchain has been talked about for a decade, can anyone share a case study / example where it has been made into an enterprise model and used successfully?

Additionally, each deep clean after a mid-term stay costs around $300 or more, which almost negates the financial benefit of the mid-term rental model.
