Wasn’t sure what the “go to” platform was for STR & MTR. thanks for the info 

I would want more info from the locksmith to know exactly what was found, but if there was a door lock and you never provided a key, and they got locked out, then its on you. 

You don't have to be a contractor but it will save you a good chunk of money. 

After we onboarded with the lender and sent all the deal info over, we found out that there is a prepayment penalty.

This is a great way to scale as you build your savings post-college. 

That list of areas, it's what everyone talks about...Nobody raves or brags about the Detroit opportunity...I think I'll save my story for choosing Detroit for another time, but the long story short version is this: I believe Detroit is the greatest economic opportunity standing in front of us all today, and those who know how to navigate it will get stupid rich.Below is a snapshot of my Detroit portfolio. 

Gathering as much info as I can in the short window of time I have. 

Granted this was on plots of land I didn't pay for, and that are already connected to the city's water and sewer, so there's a lot of savings there, but I'm hoping if it turns out to be this good of a deal I can still scoop up land and keep going

Here's more info on what co-hosts can do according to Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1534 Steve - if I were considering starting a STR/MTR property management company but do not have a real estate license, are there workarounds? 

I'm not sure if I can share his info here, but I'd be happy to share his info along with some other recommendations.
