SFHs are my focus for what I hope are better clients and RE appreciation. 

I am an experienced REI as well as a REI broker and have many clients all around the country and wanted to see if anyone has had success with listing and renting out air b & b?

I'm trying to be as familiar with my target city as I am with the city I live in and I'm finding it to be a little difficult as I'm on the other side of the country in NYC. 

There are rental properties to be found but it will be difficult to find anything listed that has good value. 

I send all of my gray area or those who need creative financing clients.

This isn't something most agents like to hear and you'll weed out those looking to make a "quick buck" or get the "easy client" because they'll stop responding. 

I think contractors just assume clients get multiple quotes, right?

The can also assess the rental rate and vacancy rate of the area (after you find a property)  If you are waiting for an agent to bring you properties, when they have other clients they are working with and other agents can easily see these listings too, they wont be the good deals.Good deals are found by networking, driving around, scouring the notice of default and foreclosure listings, etc.   

@Udit Multani your use of abbreviations made it even more difficult to read.

I work with a lot of VA clients, and I myself have used this method to accumulate properties here in San Diego.
