Even traditional financing is getting tougher as lenders want to make sure the borrower's still have jobs. 

Meaning, to buy an investment property with a traditional Fannie/Freddie loan I need 15% or 20% or 25% down.

But, I believe urban areas, like Minneapolis/Saint Paul where I am, will see a large temporary loss of STR inventory, and most of that loss will be from the bottom of the barrel, because they aren't profitable enough to justify the risk, but the highest performing STRs will of course stick around, because they're doubling or tripling income from LTR.I also own a duplex in Rochester, MN a few blocks from Mayo Clinic, that I'll be putting half of onto airbnb when it's done (I wish it was ready so I could help some healthcare folks out).I think it's like most industries though, the most robust and efficient businesses will withstand this crisis, while the weaker, unfortunately, might not.Just to predict, I think across the airbnb platform we'll see a temporary (maybe up to a year after the crisis comes to an end) drop of inventory around 10-15%, but I think bookings will drop by less than that amount (after the quarantines stop).

Structuring LLC - assessing whether a Series LLC or Traditional LLC for each property would be best for needsc.

My question, is this the end of the traditional agent?  

There're other significant tax benefits of investing in these funds, but the risks and restrictions are very significant, and you need to compare it against the more traditional investments.

I would recommend cozy if you are growing a traditional rental portfolio. 

When/which platform will they be on?

I have cash as well but would prefer to not use my cash and do it more traditionally, as my cash is from a trust fund and want to do this on my own.

Preapproved for a traditional loan but can't reach my loan officer.
