Anyone doing STR in canton ohio?

Question

I'm super excited about this opportunity! I'm looking to get a house close to the pro football hof. I have had no luck, but am just starting on this adventure.   Is anyone else doing air bnb?  I would love to book with you to see how it works. Thank you

@Jeffery Waicak I do this is Coffeyville KS.  There is a 135,000 bpd refinery in a town of 10,000.  My edge is that I do the drug screens for the refinery.  All the contractors go through me before they get in the gate, that's when I pitch my STR.  You, working in the refinery, have an edge over anyone else doing the same thing.

@Paul Sandhu thank you. Do you do this in canton Ohio? I actually work in the refinery

I do STR to refinery contractors (welders, pipefitters, boilermakers, electricians, etc) working short term jobs at a local refinery.  22 houses with 82 beds.

Find out who is staying at local hotels/motels on a weekly basis.  That is your target market.  Drive through the parking lots in the evening and look for company vehicles.  They will usually have the company name and logo painted on the door.  That's your first lead.  Send the company some info on what you have.  This method has worked for me.  AirBnB has not worked for me, or it gets me the wrong kind of renter (someone in town just for the weekend).

I'm on board with this. Been thinking about it since I sold my duplex to the HOF at the beginning of last year. In a few years I think it'll be a no brainer, but we might have to get in now before things get crazy in a few years.
