@Joseph Barnes ,Something you'll need understand about being a landlord versus being a short term rental host is that as a STR host you're crossing over into another industry: hospitality, on top of being a property owner.A short term rental is expected to be fully furnished as well as fully stocked with a coffee brewer, pots, pans, utensils, dishes, cups / glasses, flatware, towels, soap / shampoo, other bath items, bed linens, ... even some basic food items like breakfast cereals, canned items, etc.

My mother in law is looking for a home for rent and somehow came across someone renting a 3/2 home.We went and saw it and the man (not the owner) he says he’s the broker.. very quickly wanted us to do the approval application and so we did because we loved the home.But I wanted to cross check it with another realtor of mine whose a family friend and she said she can’t find it anywhere on the MLS and that she looked under properties for sale and it sold in 2013.All listings show “off market”Does this look sketchy to anyone?
