Dealing with no shows even after confirming 30 minutes before the appointment.I love when someone ask me if I'm the owner, that already tells me that they have been turned away from large real estate companies and they're looking for a sucker.

Previous owners created a DIY nightmare.

I've reached out to several local owners of multiple MTR rentals to see if they'd be willing to talk to me, have looked at Furniture Finder, and have researched competition.  

I start with negotiating seller financing terms, and then move towards a traditional financing situation if owner carry is not possible.

I am not that concerned right now given I think there will always be mechanisms in place to avoid it (move into one of the units as an owner, move a family member in, do another renovation, etc) but want to make sure I am not making a big mistake here.Thanks all!

Another thing is that it appears that you are limited to 90 days max as a STR.Here is the site that talks about running a STR in Rocklin - EDIT - Still having trouble posting links.

I’m a second generation rental owner.

I enjoyed talking to various business owners. 

I know that some mobile home park owners will offer this financing themselves.

Im looking to create 8X8 (8 post cards in 8 week) marketing campaign where the company compiles the list of owners, design the postcard and send them out to the address.
