I just wish I was doing it for my own business.

It's about to be your small business.

@Terri AbsherNot familiar with them but here is a prior post on BP about themhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1006736-has-anyone-done-business-with-flipos

Started with the flip business 2 years ago and going strong. id say start by practicing comps in your area, learn your market and go to real estate meetups.

There are very few fully integrated turnkey operators in the business today.  

PM me if you want the contact (they deserve some business for their great support, but if I do not close I have no need for the insurance).Good luck Thanks Dan,  where in CA is that property at very good price for what your describing !!!

Everyone is trying to maximize earnings in this business. 

I use Proper insurance, unwritten by Lloyds of London, for my STR - covers the extra issues you would expect from an STR like vandalism, alcohol liabilities, business interruption up $10k, hot-tub cooties etc.

I use the terms -  "corporate furnished rentals",  "short-term rentals",  and talk about my target clients-  Business travelers, traveling nurses, traveling healthcare workers.#6  Knowledge -  Know why STR is better for the landlord than traditional rentals.   

Zach and I are colleagues we currently do not have any business together but he will call me and I call him to discuss things related to RE..
