Fakaradin Floyd Advice on my STR pitch and overall Rental Arbitrage advice (Alexandria VA)
30 December 2024 | 89 replies
I understand the downsides (well not all of it since I am inexperienced) but just like LTR I believe there are risks with any form of investment.Thank you so much for the reply, I see I didn't know it was mumbo jumbo I thought it was "professional" formal talk I wanted to give off the impression of some form of professionality to build a rapport but you're right I should be more straightforward but I want to first ask if they're open to corporate leasing because I will be hosting via my LLC and since I'm going to most likely advertise towards Travel nurses it wouldn't only be on airbnb but on different sites like furnished booking so I wanted to leave it a bit ambiguous so that it can start a conversation rather than have it limited to only being seen as just another airbnb pitch.
