@Alvin Sylvain I agree the emotional support animals are B.S. but they are legal and we have to abide by the law.If the animal is an ESA, you are allowed to ask if the person is disabled and what service the animal provides.

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

I personally feel it's very intrusive to call someone like this, but maybe it's considered acceptable? 

Do you have a 501c3 that you operate under (and rent the house from yourself), or do you purchase homes with an LLC or personal name, and run as a regular business? 

Personally, it’s something I always expect from a short-term rental, and it can have a huge impact on your reviews.To make things easier for both you and your guests, consider smart tools like locks, outdoor cameras, and smart thermostats.

What appears to be great "curb appeal" to one person might be overwhelming to another. 

I personally know both @Jaclyn Cano and @Wale Lawal and can confidently say both are great and VERY Investor friendly!

That depends on a lot of personal factors such as your finances.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

I personally believe that a better way to jump into mid term rentals is to take a course on buidling a property management company or cohosting business where you bring your skillset to the table without the intial investment into all the furniture and leases.
