you are betting your airbnb reputation on so many unknown/uncontrollable variables.

http://theriangroup.com/your-home-guaranteed-sold-in-29-days-or-we-buy-it/In our market in Portland Oregon there is usually one mega agent running this schemeand I know its kind of an old play  ( at least to us old guys) But I am wondering if this is legal in your state.Its like buying listings.. and or its very smart you either buy it wholesale or you get the listing.. he is expanding to CA..Brokers Agents whats your thoughts and or maybe its something to copy.I bet this agent spends at least 20 to 30k a month on Radio and other marketing. 

They like that I'm on-site to handle issues promptly and take good care of the building and feel a bit safer with my wife and I around most of the time.

CA will always be your better bet for appreciation levels, but unless you are buying a property for cash...the numbers really don't work out very well.

I bet if you get 3-4 bids, you drop the price down into the $350 range.

I think your best bet is to target hot areas and target off-market deals until the MLS levels out.

Rent for the long run here or selling a better bet?

They don't want to lose money or watch you lose money, so explain how your market works and is operating and I'd bet they'd work with you.

But, you better be prepared to do a LOT of work to screen these "investors," screen their deals and then oversee their projects to ensure that your investments are protected.Like I said earlier in the thread, your better bet is to just add more deals to your own pipeline if access to deals isn't a problem for you. 

I would say your best bet is an Attorney.
