PMs can minimize their suffering from unrealistic expectations by showing comparable properties that are on the market for rent and having a discussion with the landlord as to how their property compares and how his property can be more attractive to renters.Landlords are running a business. 

I've heard add 1-2% to your current rate, but it seems I could do a little more than that and it still be an attractive deal for the buyer.Also, I would like to find a loan processing company to deal w/ the payments & record keeping.

They claim to market on dozens of online channels, and they seem to know the right amenities to feature, have great design, services, experiences etc.

Airbnb will send you a free Minut noise monitoring system (they did before) that can help monitor noise and parties as well. 100%I would add that your rates are too low if you are attracting these types of guests. 

For background, I'm partnered with an architect and interior designer, but I'd have to find most of the subs as I don't have any formal connections (at least in the area I'd like to build).

Airbnb dynamic pricing has ruined the whole industry.Airbnb's dynamic pricing isn't designed to get YOU a booking. 

While this is indirect, a less experienced sponsor is not going to be able to attract capital like a seasoned sponsor, regardless of securities being exempt or not.  

Median-priced homes will attract the highest percentage of qualified residents looking for rentals and the highest percentage of owner-occupied home buyers in the future. 

In addition, what if I attract unwanted attention to the other parts of the property that I strongly suspect aren’t permitted?  

And for most of my clients, they are generally attracted to a city or market for personal reasons and THEN then find a property that works for them rather than looking at general market numbers...meaning, my clients can make money in ANY market, even ones where the population isn't growing, the rental demand is softening, and the rent-to-price ratios are less than attractive.So to you, does PA mean Pittsburgh, Philly, or central PA?
