But i heard that there's scammers who prey on new listing discounts to try to take advantage of new hosts.. is this something I should be concerned about?

I guess my biggest concern being new is what angle/s can I use to convince a  potential client who doesn't  know me to use me.  

Sounds like a good plan, should have plenty of options available.I would be cognizant of any group you talk with on two areas, the location of the property including any potential concerns of it being 'rural', as well as the minimum purchase price and/or minimum loan amounts.

If privacy is a concern with young kids at home, you might look for properties with separate entrances or a layout that keeps your space distinct.You mentioned having substantial equity in your home, which is a great resource.

My biggest concern is not the concept itself.

They’ll take care of everything from listing and tenant screening to addressing tenant concerns.

Im sorry, while your concerns are generalized,  you are obviously not an Investor with BAM Capital or know their Company culture to post your concerns here regarding BAM Capital.I am in FUND III & FUND IV with well over 1 million invested over both funds.

Most seller's in a sub-to don't understand the risk they are taking and most lenders have concerns over the overall portfolio quality ratings which has an impact on their cost of funds.

Points I can roll into the cost and don't mind a buy down if necessary.My primary concern is the bleed rate monthly for the build, Airbnb stabilization and the year after while we season it and prep for final financing for long term hold.

A concern is whether your an accredited investor or not?
