I send a text to introduce myself and ask if we can answer any questions about the listing or to support them in finalizing their booking.We follow up with an e-mail reiterating the same information.  

Obviously, they have no intention of following the law & I wouldn't count on them to adhere to your lease provisions, either.Don't get me wrong - I love dogs & my pit (who went through the big doggie door in the sky many years ago) was the best dog, ever!

I’m sure you’ll find plenty of opportunities to share insights while also connecting with other professionals and investors who can help broaden your understanding of real estate.Looking forward to seeing your contributions and following your journey as you get more involved.

You should follow all the same processes you would with a LTR, including the lease.

This information can be overwhelming, but I recommend looking for the following items:Credit Score: Depending on your criteria, you may establish a minimum credit score for your tenants.

I created the following decision tree diagram to illustrate the decision process (click to enlarge).The above decision process is based on the property’s performance record, with the goal of achieving financial freedom in mind.Financial freedom is not just replacing your current income.

In addition, the platform idea follows principles to make the best user experience and reachability possible, so any user (investor or property owner) will be able to just go onto such platform and, without leaving from it, set up every aspect to start the cash flow process in not months, not weeks, not even days or hours, but minutes.As for the yield, whether these tokens can beat an 8% return really depends on the property and how it’s performing.

If someone stays at a property for 14 consecutive days or more, they could potentially be considered a tenant under state law, even if their stay is structured as short-term renewals.If the individual is classified as a tenant, landlord-tenant laws would apply, meaning you may need to follow formal eviction procedures to remove them.
