Don't agree one bit with that statement and Im getting a feeling that most people in this thread are inflating the struggles I've been facing.

I had been somewhat interested in short term furnished rentals (30 days or more) I looked into Homesuite.com then I called a few operators around me to feel out the competition. 

Just wanted to make what is the first of many posts and say hello to everyone :) If anyone has knowledge of multifamily investing in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area (or is on a similar path), feel free to connect!

I feel like maybe these markets are too saturated.

A borrower really needs to have at least some "skin in the game" to make lenders feel comfortable.

Alternatively, I feel that a property manager could probably rent the property out and cash flow even after they take their cut, but I am worried about the screening process and potential tenants destroying my new home.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to brainstorm ideas!

We have had success buying in the winter, but this time it feels different. 

With the way my portfolio and pipeline is arranged I can understand why the construction management or brokerage verticals are most enticing but it still feels too transactional which is what I want to avoid.

Feel free to DM me and we can set up time to chat 1-on-1 more about this.
