Smart professionally, but real ****** from a human nature standpoint.One who did was so delinquent in getting back to me that the tenants missed the boat.I can control my professionalism, I can't control others. 

The rest of the stuff scares away newbies but the seasoned investor could give a crap.  1% gives you a lot of leeway to miss an item or two.  

I am employed, haven’t missed a payment, but no one will assist!

If it does need a re-pipe, and new electrical wiring, then expect to gut to studs, patching swiss cheese is more labor intensive so it is better to gut and start fresh. 3.

I’ve also been thinking about how this idea of the “missing middle” housing is also misguided in how it’s being implemented.

I use Airbnb, VRBO, and the other ones I listed before Ah ok thanks I missed that 

This question is missing some information.

I am sure that I missed some, and while this is not a super detailed list, I think that I made my point that you need to do a LOT more research to actually be successful with a short term rental.Have fun out there, and yes!

Theres also typically a lot of expenses missing from the small multifamily OM you gotta really dig through with someone who owns them locally. 

What am I missing?
