We have had a couple evictions and I agree that the model is not the best for property owners.

look at other STR data in the area and do similar style to do your best to recreate similar results 

I am a former travel nurse so I feel like I have always had a heart for the traveling healthcare professional since I was one :) The MTR model fit well with our goals and values and it's done so well for us. 

My model tenant (best tenant we ever had) will be moving Dec 1 so I'm looking at my options. 

And in general there is a lot of downplaying of risk in the pursuit of pure ROI.None of that is wrong I guess, it's just not my style. 

For the purposes of property tax, they change formulas starting 4+ units to commercial models. 

Tan/brown neutral , and yes a little darker to hide stains....and not a Berber loop style, those look nice but are prone to damage...

Rentals and wholesaling are two completely different business models.

I just started working with THD, I had the same situation as Shankar RamaniI had a 3/2 SFH posted for LTR, they reached out asking if I am open to short term rental, I was hesitant first but after searching the company and their business model, I was willing to take the risk if they pay me a good premiumThe person who reached out to me works with the insurance side of THD ( they have corporate leasing department too), and her tenant had a fire damage in their house so the insurance company wanted the tenant to stay somewhere until the house repair is done.

I would also prepare to sell it on the used marketplace but if you absolutely don’t want to go that route then I would recommend getting it included in the purchase upfront (but still use it as a bargaining chip first).3) marketing: the best target audience is going to be a savvy house-hacker for a property this style.
