Let me know if you'd like to attend a meeting, I can get you a guest pass. 

I do have customer service background working in high end restaurants in Orlando for 8 years (getting food shopped all the time and passing with 100%) and feel I would be an excellent asset to someones property in it becoming a successful STR.

Some of these other options you listed are decisions based on how you want to live and how you feel about having strangers in your primary house and aren't something we can tell you to do. 

I am thinking about picking up my Private Money Broker certification, as way of adding an additional stream of income, but I want your advice if you feel the certicication is worth the effort?

Also you need to figure out how you intend to cover inevitable property damage done by guests but there are plenty of solutions for that in the marketplace where guests pay a flat fee per reservation in lieu of a deposit and you get covered for an assortment of potential issues (bad checks, credit card chargebacks, fraud, personal property damage, etc.)  

Joshua- I have a feeling you're right about how much interest a chatroom would generate.

I create a lengthy and very detailed response listing everything I can think of that a prospective tenant would need to know about the unit and finish it off with please feel free to reach out with any questions, if you would like an application please reply back with your email.

If my initial guess is right (someone else feel free to research), no bonus depreciation would be allowed. 

I feel this is too good to be true.

I will say for some MTR guests we dont sign a lease but it depends if they come through Airbnb/Vrbo/FurnishedFinder/etc https://freeforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Pennsylvani...
