I'm going to do new post referencing insurance - this has been a big topic amongst my California friends. 

Open to all suggestions.Hi Drew, happy to refer you over to my investor friendly PMs here in Columbus Ohio - they are the best in the business and super responsive/communicative and have done an amazing job for both me and my clients!

Keep grinding it out my friend. 

It’s inexpensive to provide but can make a big impact.Comfortable Bedding: Investing in high-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens improves the guest experience and leads to better reviews, which can boost occupancy rates.Smart TV or Streaming Services: Offering Netflix, Hulu, or similar services is a low-cost way to enhance guest entertainment and stay competitive.Fully Stocked Kitchen: A well-equipped kitchen with basic appliances and utensils appeals to families and long-term guests, saving them money on dining out.Dedicated Workspace: If your property caters to remote workers, adding a small desk and ergonomic chair can set your listing apart.Outdoor Spaces: If your property allows, an outdoor seating area, fire pit, or hot tub can significantly increase your nightly rate and attract more bookings.Energy-Efficient Features: Guests appreciate eco-friendly options like LED lighting, smart thermostats, or solar panels, especially in eco-conscious markets.Keyless Entry: A smart lock is a relatively small investment but offers convenience and security, which many guests value.If you’re deciding on amenities to add, it’s always a good idea to research your local market.

Wouldn't a guest under that policy be a friend or family member you have over to your primary residence? 

Listing your property there ensures visibility.Build Relationships: When agents reach out, respond quickly, highlight your property’s amenities, and showcase your flexibility to meet displaced families’ needs.Highlight Insurance-Friendly Features: Emphasize features like flexible lease terms, utilities included, and a fully furnished setup to attract insurance placements.This approach has helped me successfully market to insurance companies.

Financing can be trickier in smaller markets, so work with an investor-friendly agent and lender who know the area.

My friend and her adult son have lived in a SFH together for about 20 years. 

I also have a close friend who only deals in large apartment complexes.

Recently a friend recommended I looked into BiggerPockets as I was telling them about my "concept of a plan" and maybe he could also notice my hesitation.
