This especially now as the topic of Airbnb is somewhat sensitive in Hawaii.Hope this helps, brahdah!

At least as an owner with skin in the game, there is motivation to vet short term rentals guest, limit the number of occupants per unit/bedroom, keep the property in good condition with maintenance after every turn, etc. 

PM is a very sensitive issue, someone is always going to be angry at the PM company, either the tenant or the investor.

That being said, having "skin in the game" would give you the best change to receiving non-traditional financing for your investment property.  

That will keep some skin in the game in case they bail on you.Maybe do month-to-month with your next tenant to give you flexibility on when you want to move. 

I'd loose the cash flow, but I'd have a huge chunk to go after a multifamily and have skin in the game for raising additional capital.  

Potential $1000Tenants pay Gas/Electric/Water/SewerExpenses:  $2824 (we use the BP calculator so this includes everything)Potential Cash flow ~ $950 including our rent for the hack and the office conversion.We have no skin in the game. 

This is why the Banks always want skin in the game.

Then the random hard money folks will be more willing to lend after you have a proven model and some skin in the game.  

Along the same lines of hard money and needing skin in the game?
