As my portfolio grew, I became laser-focused on the work in front of me.My wife and I own Cozy Co-Host LLC, a short-term rental management company based in Atlantic City, NJ.

Are you doing regular long term rentals there?

Good thing is they don't have rules about the interior remodeling (except the regular county permitting process).

For instance, how did the due diligence "come back as clean" and the "leases were solid" if the rent was not paid up to date and paid REGULARLY?  

A nice but rental quality unit gets 1500-1650 regularly in that area depending on the size and finishes.

What broker would sponsor me considering I'm not intending to become a full time Realtor and give them regular business?

The market is a bit trickier because you need to be a good host to the residents while being a good vendor to the paying client.

There are a host of problems down the road that can happen from doing this.4.

Just FYI :-)Yeah I know Simpson makes a structural screw for hangers now, with a hex head, but I’ve been seeing a lot of regular deck screws used lately and obviously if they’re not structural they don’t have the shear strength needed to support a deck.

In addition to their standard updates, I appreciate the regular calls with a supervisor to address any issues with our rep and make sure everything is on track.They've managed several of my properties, and while there were occasional maintenance costs, I felt they were reasonable and necessary to keep the properties in good shape and avoid bigger issues down the line.
