STR Arbitrage... is anyone doing this successfully?

[Roberta Markevitch]

I'm looking to possibly try this in Atlanta and then possibly some European cities. Wondering if anyone has had luck doing this. How did you find a landlord willing to accept this arrangement?

If you search arbitrage on the main STR forum page you will see a ton of threads, many of which I have commented on explaining why I do not think this is a viable business now/anymore. There are exceptions, but generally speaking, you will spend a lot of time to gain no equity and likely end up break even with a bunch of used furniture in an optimistic scenario in my honest opinion.
