Because of that I decided to exit the market as a co-host. 

We know of a bunch of the servicers but curious of others have servicers they prefer.

I suspect these hosts are buying off bad reviews.

If your current lender can’t accommodate you, explore STR-focused lenders like Host Financial or Lima One Capital, or consider bridge loans to buy time while you build your rental history.

We host a lot of networking events and other groups as well such as the multi family club and the cash flow group.

Short term rentals are legal when the host is living in the same apartment as the guests and there are no more than 2 guests staying with the host."

You can Host Finacial revenue tool to get an average of the income.

Buy Box is set, class neighborhood is set (C+/B-) and rules are set.It is working well and I don't have most of the drama the other hosts I talk to have.

You might find it useful to attend a meetup or two just to learn how other folks got their start into the industry :) I host a small/intimate meetup once a month in LIC, check it out here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1214850-meet...

I also own a short-term rental co-hosting company.
