By doing this, they say they can get top offers and avoid the MLS service and traditional costs of using a real estate agent.

Thank you for your service...

Mark Futalan might I suggest rather than posting here, which of course is a great thing to do, in this case you might be better off calling AirBnB and VRBO customer service and asking questions.

I think you nees to lay out the costs and then decide.Converting to gas depemds on how far you are from service now.

The only way I would accept it is if you signed up for one of those services that gives you your money in USD and debits the current value of btc from their wallet.

Hard money might be an option to supplement, but the deal needs to cash flow enough to cover the debt service. 

I am excited to hit the ground running and provide top-notch customer service in a field that I truly have a passion for.

Again in Florida it may be different (although having a Tampa agent come on would be a big help)I went ahead and looked up the rules for the MLS in Tampa and the following is listed:"Note 1: The multiple listing service shall not have a rule requiring the listing broker to disclose the amount of total negotiated commission in his listing contract, and the association multiple listing service shall not publish the total negotiated commission on a listing which has been submitted to the MLS by a participant.

They are basically paying your rent plus property management, no PM services are worth the rent on one of the units on a 3-4 unit (25-33%). 

Its a nice service in general.
