The only thing that no one else has mentioned is that required by law on site agent?

I assumed neither he or his dad were experienced STR hosts and said they wanted passive income. 

See the map below for trauma and neonatal intensive care hospitals.There are two primary places to market furnished rentals, the MLS and sites like Furnished Finder.

There will be title issues, probate issues, original seller not willing to close issues, appraisal issues, hard money lender issues, family says grandma not in her right mind to sell at 50% discount issues, termite issues, foundation issues, structural issues, can't get insurance issues, I don't have any money to move out issues, or a whole host of other problems.Well...every now and then you find someone that wants to dump one and it is a clean deal and they think because they are not using a realtor, they're saving 6%. 

Hey @Lisa Mallory , I am so sorry to hear that and I am devastated for all our amazing hosts in that area.
