They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

The limit on scaling is your deal flow (mine never was that good) and time it takes to perform the value add (I got fairly quick for example, my last rehab did all new plumbing, electrical, and flooring.  

For STRs, properties near the beach or downtown tend to perform well.Start Small and Smart: If this is your first property, focus on something manageable.

Would your STR business even exist without Airbnb?  

Very important that you do a lot of research on who ever you do business with.

Highway hotel on busy 35 highway. 19 hotel rooms plus owners apartment, large laundry room with commercial washer and dryer, large parking lot, front desk, lobby, roadside sign.

I normally advise that people start a business as a sole propeitor in their first year.If it is successful and something you want to continue, then have a conversation regarding entities.
