Michelle,I'm in Tampa and feel your pain!  

Airbnb for < 7 days is a huge pain for me.

Basically the owner is moving on to bigger properties and this has become a pain in the neck for her to manage, not in terms of % yield, but absolute $ value x time it takes for her to manage.Here are the pros:-what stands between the property and the lake is a township-managed lot --> the property is basically lakefront, but without the high taxes associated with it.

We found that quite a few were interested, especially the ones that had just gone through the pain of a bad tenant leaving (hence the reason why they were advertising for rent again).

My role was business development with a focus of selling data management software to the government which was a painfully slow process.

Since learning of this opportunity I viewed the houses and I signed a PA w the current owner, cash offer for slightly more than the bid price.Now we will see if the sellers financial advisor can get the PA in the hands of a knowledgeable person who can make a decision to sell.

@Tzvi Balsam I feel your pain.

Long story short, we are in the process of purchasing a home in Pittsburgh, PA, in the Lawrenceville neighborhood.

Woo that is relief thanks everyone!!

Some sellers just aren't motivated enough ( I say they need to feel a little more pain before they're ready for my solution) and others just don't know a good deal when they see it.
