In addition to being a long-term real estate investor I have been a commercial/res appraiser, historic property renovator/contractor, property mgr and more so I don’t mind properties with issues as long as they are fixable and priced accordingly, and my investments are all about the numbers (NOI/Equity).

I'm organizing four events across the US for local short-term rental hosts to come together to have a beer and chat about challenges they've faced and things they've learned over the year and swap a few stories.

It can come at the very end so that you're not wasting your time (and theirs), but the kind of long term damage that a bad tenant will cause to a property is not something that they can quickly and easily hide so you want to get eyes on how they are currently living.The age of the house has nothing to do with section 8.

You can explain that any changes to the lease must be carefully considered, as you want to maintain the original terms that protect your interests.If you decide to allow the change, you could draft an addendum stating that each tenant is responsible for their own rent.

Another thought/ long term plan I had was to make it a mini unique airbnb multifamily as in, have a silo home, then maybe put an airstream on it and lastly maybe an A-frame cabin.  

I have picked up a curiosity and even passion for short-term rentals and hope to own my own STR property in the area of the University I am attending. 

Hey @Matthew Short, head on over to https://turno.com/You should be able to find a bunch of folks who can clean.

They played an important role in my success (remember this is before we could find information and interact on line) because of the following benefits:1.

So you should definitely check them out, maybe get in a conversation to understand their monthly returns for long-term projects.

I came across the site Fund that flip.com and was wondering if they were legit. Ha anyone had experience with them?
