We made the paper when one of our tenants burned down our apartment building...Not intentionally, but still.

Have you been burned on allowing them before? 

And yes, I filched that joke straight from him.Forget about Kiyosaki, not promoting or debating him, just the thought concept that was brought up in the conversation. 

I would, however, like to maximize my exposure by doing my own additional marketing. things like create a facebook page and post videos and such, run facebook ad campaigns, set up a my own web site to promote the listing etc.Any suggestions on the bet method(s) to promote and advertise a STR, besides what the PM does?

I am a nurse as well, and while I enjoy what I do, it does come with a lot of burn out.

Getting started (and not burned) is the hardest part.

Marketing: customer segmentation and place/promotion for when/ where to advertise Economics: Opportunity costs, agency costs, supply and demandStrategy: Competitive advantage, value proposition. 

They will usually form a new entity that only receives the asset management fees and the promote earned on the projects where external capital was raised.

Accelerating that time line either requires equity partners or the churn and burn of doing flips, which then gives you capital for new deals.

My lease says no candle burning.
