Instead of buying existing properties and rehabbing them, the idea is to partner with a builder who constructs new rental properties, then refinance and rent them out. 

In my day job I do SEO for a digital marketing agency and I am more than happy to talk SEO with anyone who has questions.I'm interested in Long-term rentals, though admittedly, finding deals below market value and funding those deals (not to mention I honestly have no idea have to put the deals under contract in the first place), are problem the first things I'll need to learn.

They pay you rent, and they operate a parking business.

If not, go with your idea of putting the thermostat in a control room.

For example I don't see much of a difference between a business traveler and a digital nomad, and the business traveler would still appreciate a washer/dryer. 

About my ideas and general questions.

Almost any business you look at has its own gurus and scammers.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to network with local real estate agents who specialize in short-term or mid-term rental markets.Good luck with your new venture!

Partnering with an amazing agent and focusing on flipping/a normal job/different business can be a lot easier than trying to learn the ins and outs of sales as a Realtor.

Plus the street isn't a busy one.
