I have quite some questions that need your help: For tenant screening, I plan to do the routine background (eviction, criminal) screening and credit check.

The house is also 5 acres and can be parceled off into two additional lots.

Someone told me that Martinsburg has been growing a lot lately with the addition of an Amazon warehouse?

But does anyone have additional thoughts on how I can connect with these potential sellers, especially multifamily property owners?

For additional context on the above matter along with in depth "soap opera' back and forth, please click on this link - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1089655-warning-dont-use-ohio-cash-flow-unless-you-want-to-lose-thousands-of-dollars?

You can include it and add it on to the rent rate, but most Landlords require the tenant to maintain the lawn.

Do most of you add additional medical/general liability on your policy (in addition to what Airbnb/VRBO provides)?

Thanks Scott I got a nice mention this week on Dave Meyers post about RE asset class. and one of the BP members a few years ago sent me a nice e mail and we talked through a deal he was doing and he gave me some credit for helping him structure and or giving him encouragement to go for it.. and I believe he said this year that one deal netted him 143k in cash flow.. talk about a Yatchzee..

This includes income & asset verification, tenant's credit, criminal, and eviction reports.

That said, the key - number one role, of any STR is to optimize revenue and STR is all about marketing and positioning the offer (the listing) - getting the pricing, photos, and copy correct in addition to delivering an A+ experience.
