Did more homework. The company is new ~Spring 2022. You can find that on their domain registry. The founder is a serial entrepreneur (easy to find him on TikTok/LinkedIn). They find properties and then use an arbitrage model and sublease on AirBnB. They make money on the margins since the nightly rate on an AirBnB x nights per month can be a lot higher. If the company is willing to take on the risk to make sure the house is booked enough to make a profit, then the business model doesn't sound horrible. Pretty creative actually...
What rubs me the wrong way is the storytelling of "I have a medical professional client who is looking for a property." They seem to wrap the "company" around this story (including their website) which seems a bit BS and hides the fact this is just likely an AirBnB... You can find evidence of that on this guys TikTok. Seems like a bit sketchy business practice and I question the ethics involved with this. I would have been more comfortable with them being open about the business model which I honestly think is pretty creative... If this was the case I would have likely done it.
I love the entrepreneurial nature of thinking outside the box here but question the ethics... I'm going to pass.

Did anyone end up using them? I just got contacted and it seems "to good to be true" as well which makes me a bit nervous. I will be using my own lease but they have a handful of clauses to include. The clauses basically state they can sublease and that they will cover cosmetic damage + liability insurance. The one fishy thing is the clauses they sent over had the address of a nearby property in the title so they obviously are contacting a high volume of properties. It sounds great... Just too great... I can't find any more information on them.
