My local bank refused to open a regular LLC business checking owned by my IRA.

but if you are just looking for a use that requires minimal investment, your hosting of farmers markets etc is where my mind goes also. 

I have a special fondness for I-found-a-pile-of-gold-in-a-crapshack-basement-help-me-invest posts.I've been a regular contributor for years.

The website 51west.properties also scores low on scam advisor ("owner is using a service to hide their identity, high number of suspicious websites on the server, registrar has a high % of spammers and fraud sites, website is (very) young, website appears to be hosted by a company with a bad reputation", all according to https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/51west.properties...)Trust your instincts. 

I am a investor and co-host in Dallas but focus on renting out whole units.

In 2017, I found Hipster Investments (Ali Boone) and through Hipster attended a webinar hosted by Maverick Investment Group (Matt Bowles, Phil Alexander).

Hey Kevin,I am an MTR investor and co-host in North Dallas, Texas.I have not done rent by the room--- but make sure you seek out advice from the rent by the room forums.

Etc, etc.....While I have been hosting MTR stays for 5 years now, I feel like there is still so much to learn!

Looks like we are all wondering if its legit or more for the novice host?

So if you are going to be a host that outperforms your competitors and want to get fabulous reviews, there isn’t complete down time if you are self managing at the highest level.
