So many benefits: no more throwing money away on rent, your renters pay your mortgage, and you can save money each month toward your next REI adventure. 

@Laticia Braxton from a property management standpoint, do you think assigning a tenant the task of reading/reporting the submeters would work?

Pricevpoints younintend to work in, specific area, your skill sets, goals and likes/dislikes as far as real estate and tasks associated with that.

My goal is to find someone who will let me work underneath them and help them out with tasks they find nauseating and allow me to learn the trade first hand.

Sounds like you've had some adventures...which is great because I'm sure you learned a ton. 

As a matter of fact there are more and more hosts who don't even own the property. 2) Running a STR is a JOB requiring time AND skills such as : Tech savvy, Project Management, Multi-tasking, customer facing similar to retail, etc...

Create a schedule that shows what task is happening when and how long it will take.

We are still struggling with this adventure.
