There will be title issues, probate issues, original seller not willing to close issues, appraisal issues, hard money lender issues, family says grandma not in her right mind to sell at 50% discount issues, termite issues, foundation issues, structural issues, can't get insurance issues, I don't have any money to move out issues, or a whole host of other problems.Well...every now and then you find someone that wants to dump one and it is a clean deal and they think because they are not using a realtor, they're saving 6%. 

So far, the only thing I've heard about is a local meetup that occurs monthly in Bay Shore hosted by @Kevin Myhre. https://www.instagram.com/libiggerpockets/Hoping to hear about an upcoming meeting soon.

There are 2 English meetups that I know of: one is hosted by @Axel Monsaingeon and @Simon Kouperchand, the other is with @Daniel LozowyLet's connect!

I assumed neither he or his dad were experienced STR hosts and said they wanted passive income. 

I am new co-hosting and considering any programs or training to help speed things up and provide any key resources.

@Mark Ainley and @Tom Shallcross host the podcast, and it is on my list to listen to daily.

In order to avoid wasting time on a bunch of individual showings with unqualified applicants, perhaps consider doing what I do and host “open house” style showing windows. 

One thing Airbnb and VRBO can not do is help schedule cleaning and maintenance tasks, owner accounting reports, and direct booking options that hosts need to go to next level.

He's no longer hosting the podcast on BP, but I think his private podcast is more authentic.It's hard to give book recommendations without knowing what you are trying to learn.

But I'm not familiar if title could get clouded from another mechanism at the state DMV for instance Thank you for your response!
