For your team, connect with electricians and agents through local investor groups or platforms like Angie’s List.

Hi Marc - Aircover offers some protection for damages caused by guests, but it’s limited and doesn’t replace having dedicated STR insurance.

Most big cities have good Facebook groups dedicated to STR in their area and is a good way to connect with tons of hosts in the area and pick their brain. 

As you can see from our teams response on this thread, we are VERY engaged with our company and clients EVERY client matters, so you can understand when someone speaks poorly of our shop, especially when incorrect, they take it pretty personally.Second, you mentioned "a lot of people" who are not happy with our service.

I was able to gather several different teams.

Team of people watching notifications and contacting guests and if necessary going out to property to address issues.

Hi BP Team, We have a few homes in Temple, TX and we are looking to rent by the room.

You can build your own team i.e. title co, insurance, pm, contractors, handyman,process server, lender etc.... or you can find an operator who can get you going in that market while simultaneously building out your team.Section 8 housing is a great way to ensure consistency with rent payments however not all tenant who have HCV pay 0%.

You technically CAN break it up on Schedule E; however, it is not the best thing to do for audit purposes or an actual breakdown.You should have an operating/partnership agreement together and you should have a dedicated bank account for the property.  

Insurance right now is wild, so I'd get a solid broker on your team - I'd be happy to share my contact if that would help.Also, aren't most of the existing insurances shared on the OMs for the properties?
