@Charlotte Adams I agree with Joe, That screams Guru crap to me. 

@Chris Nowlin,Pros: These guys market to and find off market deals at screaming good pricesCons: They do not pass that onto you.

To address your saturation issues, yes, we do have tens of thousands of STR homes, but we also get over 70 million visitors a year.

You're going to run into this in most of the major STR markets because within the last 2 years we have seen a massive spike in available inventory.In order to compete with the competition now, hosts/owners/operators need to step up their game and be willing to invest in good quality furniture, memory foam mattresses, high quality linens, professional seasonal photography, etc.In the high desert, most visitors are looking for peace, quiet, privacy, and amazing scenery so this means stay away from purchasing homes in residential neighborhoods with neighbors on all sides.

I will also underscore what was said in the post that the neighborhoods are spotty, you can have a big new construction house and then next door a run down place with sketchy tenants/visitors.

ur title is screaming that u should check with the city if 2fh is possible in local zoning, if u havent by now.

Any repairs to the heating or cooling system caused by dirty filters due to tenant neglect will be the responsibility of tenant.On move out (reactive):Any damage to the premises caused by tenant or tenant’s family, agents or visitors, landlord may use funds from the deposit to repair, but is not limited to this fund and tenant remains liable for any remaining costs.

Keep an eye out for suspicious activity in the unit/smells.If all else fails, send out a notice to all units reminding everyone of rules of lease regarding visitors/illegal activities and violation can result in lease termination.

The entire market is driven by visitors and investors from Texas, specifically north Dallas.

yea i loved screaming at the screen that there is no way they are getting that much work done for those little budgets.
