@Jason Merchey I agree with @Brandon Vanderford. I have 3 properties listed on AirBnB, VRBO and Houfy for about 4 years now and have received 1 booking from Houfy. It’s free so I guess I am getting what I pay for and has been great for sending to friends who want to book our places to go check out the calendars and photos but that’s about it.

@Brandon Greenplate thanks for the info. Reasonable regulations are a good thing. I appreciate the input.

HHI is a similar future goal for me. We purchased in Myrtle due to affordability but would like HHI ultimately. I have read a little about STR regulations in HHI, does anyone have details about the local regulations there?

@Bryce Cutler you can touch on a few issues on a high level, but it would be very inefficient to train at that stage, because we have on average probably over 20 in person applications. Apartments might be a little quicker than SF homes, but we have an actual slide deck (on a tablet) to walk them trough the main issues and we have significantly fewer issues with people that went through our formal orientation
@Marcus Auerbach I think we just proved that there are reasons you can make it work and reasons it doesn’t work under both scenarios. Definitely not a 1 size fits all but always good to hear multiple opinions in these forums.
Right! In the end it's all about efficiency and best results. I use DocuSign on a daily basis as an agent and generally thing electronic signatures have been one of the biggest improvements we have seen in our industry in the last decade!
I am a commercial lender and it has been a game changer for us as well.

@Gururaj Iyer we have an agent that has been good to us in the LP area. We are looking now in Keene, Jay and Wilmington which are all within 20 minutes to downtown LP.

We are in LP and have an STR there. New regulations are making it very tough to get in to downtown LP but surrounding areas still have potential.

Hey @Marcus Auerbach, all valid points. I discuss all of these topics at application and interview for the apartment because if they have an issue with any of those items we never make it to lease signing anyway. Bryce

Hey @Account Closed, I had a 1:1 call with a tech rep from RentRedi last week and mentioned that issue with him. He did say they are working on being able to change that. Also, my tenant tried to upload his renters insurance and couldn’t use a scanned copy and had to take a photo. That is another upgrade they are working on. It is not a perfect platform but it does work pretty well and they are very open to comments about what could be better.

Murray Insurance Group in Albany has worked great for me. Bridget and Lauren run a great family business.
