@Ann Folan @Brie Schmidt @Bob Floss IIGreat thread, @Ian Kibbe. thanks for adding value everyone.  

Hey everyone,I'm looking to get started in the short-term rental business and could really use some advice.

Once we lowered the price to $1 less than everyone in town we filled right up.

I am wishing everyone great success!  

Hi everyone,Last week, I was pulling rent comps to prepare renewal offers using my typical process: starting on Ręntometēr or Rēntcast for a rough idea of recently removed comps, then manually researching on platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, and Facebook Marketplace.

One thing I did learn was how to talk to all different kinds of people from bums on the street to corporate presidents and everyone in between, which I think helped me later down the road as someone who was always kind of considered as relatable.

Thanks everyone.  

Hello everyone, I am reaching out to the BP Community for suggestions.My Portfolio100% owner of 7 SFH PropertiesGP in about 30 SFH properties(of which I own somewhere between 25% to 50%)All but two properties are managed by a PM CompanyNet worth of the above is about $2,000,000 - $2,500,000My IssuesI have many SFH's - Which take up time(Currently spending time paying property tax and insurance, requesting quotes on insurance policies and overseeing the PM Company(approve rent increases, approve renovation projects, etc).They also take up head-space(having to remember property addresses, remembering when property taxes are due)(I have reminders/systems but something I would like to reduce)Goals1) Spend less time on Real Estate2) Free up head-space2) Make $240,000 annually from real estate(Which I think is not to hard if I can increase my net worth and can get an 8% return)Possible Solutions1) Sell all the SFH's and buy 4-Unit Properties to take advantage of conventional financing2) Sell all the SFH's and buy one large apartment complex3) Sell al the SFH's and invest in syndications4) Sell all the SFH's and purchase stock / bonds5) Continue to hold all the SFH's6) Any other suggestionsOther Considations1) Should I consider private notes?

If the property is vacant, you will attract a larger pool of buyers as not everyone looking for a house wants to use it as a rental. 

Everyone’s needs are different, but I definitely wouldn’t write off Hospitable.
