Zelle has its uses, I just don't think its a good option for running a rental business. 

For what it's worth, some ideas I've seen pitched are grocery bundles (e.g. a breakfast bundle for 2-4 people with eggs, bacon, bagels, cream cheese, and OJ all pre-stocked in the fridge), meal kits, a pre-stocked drink fridge, charcuterie boards, premium coffee selection, bike/e-bike/scooter/kayak/canoe rentals, video game consoles, upgraded work-from-home office amenities (e.g. oversized computer monitor), etc.I'm not a lawyer, but cocktail kits, bottles of wine, local craft beer, and other alcoholic items seem like they would fall into a grey area from liability perspective. 

And too often, businesses complain about a lack of clarity in a given regulator or lack of regulation.

The owner paid $150k in 2003 and was an operating business.

As part of that plan, I am reaching out and seeking any and all information, resources, classes, and ideas from peers. 

Most people will struggle more with the maintenance and repairs but I was a contractor running a carpentry business at the time, so that was no big deal for me. 

I marketed this property as a business - as it brought in 155K in gross revenues , could go to 180K with some extra work.I see many people who got into the airbnb game 3 years ago trying to unload now, almost at cost.

There are so many experts on here it is tough to stand out, but picking say multifamily or 1031 specifically will help drive a ton of business.

I'm fascinated with the idea of tiny homes/smaller homes (300-700ish sqft) for short term and possible long term rentals.

As long as there isn't any funny business before closing and you're familiar with the mortgage process you should be fine.If you have questions on the mortgage process, call me or basically anyone on this website.
