So in both cases an argument could be made that location isn't as important as it would be for a long-term renter.Remember: AirBnB is a business that works as well as you can manage the rental and understand their own web/app interface.

At the risk of coming across as making a shameless plug for my own profession, I strongly caution you against using web generated forms for two reasons:1.

I couldn't figure out from their web site which type of license is required for what type of permit.Now, for some trades, electric and plumbing in particular, there are state licenses, and those do require significant experience.

As with any resource, you'll find stuff you like and bypass stuff you don't.There may be a guru out there worth the $10K, but my guess is you'll get the best bang for your buck stating off by meeting local investors, reading books, and web searches.

I own a web development company so I create my own.
