I have been investing out there for several years, but am now looking for true partnership of boots on the ground to do light rehabs for my fix and hold strategies.

A Kissimmee 5-bed pool home will perform totally differently than a Gulf-side bungalow in Naples.If you’re brand new to STRs, maybe start with a place you could also use personally a few weeks a year — that way you’re getting lifestyle value even as you learn the ropes.Jeanette, I really hope this helps you a bit and gives you a better outlook of the area, I sent you a DM on BP... it's one of the reasons I do this, I hope you can assist.

@Chad EmersonYour OpEx at $60K (around 36% of EGI) feels a little light for a 30-door property.

What gave me pause originally were the limitations around what co-hosts can legally do, and also the branding aspect — I wasn’t sure how property owners would perceive the role compared to a traditional property manager. 

For 2026, target one simple flip in a blue‑collar B/C submarket you already drive for work, with multiple exits: buy right, light rehab, and it still rents if days‑on‑market stretch.

A reasonable modification refers to a physical change made to a rental unit or common area that allows a person with a disability to fully use and enjoy the premises.Examples of Reasonable Modifications:Installing a ramp or grab bars in a bathroom.Lowering countertops, peepholes, or light switches for wheelchair access.Widening doorways or removing carpet for mobility devices.Adding visual doorbells or smoke alarms for tenants who are hearing-impaired.Landlord Responsibility:The landlord must allow the modification if it’s reasonable and necessary.For federally funded housing (like HUD or Tax Credit properties), the landlord is usually responsible for the cost of the modification.For private or market-rate housing, the landlord may require the tenant to pay for the modification and restore the unit to its original condition upon move-out (if the change affects future marketability).The landlord can ask for plans and proof that the work will be done safely and professionally.Tenant Responsibility:The tenant is responsible for paying for and arranging the modification (unless the property receives federal assistance).The tenant must obtain the landlord’s approval before work begins.The tenant may be asked to restore the unit when vacating, depending on state or local law.Best Practices for LandlordsRespond to all accommodation or modification requests in writing and in a timely manner.Keep a Reasonable Accommodation/Modification Request Log for compliance records.Train leasing staff and maintenance teams on Fair Housing requirements.Post a notice or add a clause in your lease about Fair Housing rights for transparency.Final ThoughtsReasonable accommodations and modifications are not “special treatment” — they are legal rights designed to ensure equal access to housing.

Pick one lane for your first win and keep it simple: target a light value‑add rental in DFW that meets your buy box, run a quick noise‑to‑numbers scan on each lead (rent, ARV, rehab, exit), and make offers daily with clear contingencies.

If you do buy all cash, keep rehab light, build a CapEx reserve, and have a clear exit or refi plan; if the deal only pencils with perfect rent and zero surprises, keep shopping.

Brand matters. 

Lots of staff turnover, I go over something on one property and 2 months later have to revisit the same issue on an exact property sometimes because different people have been assigned, sometimes because the person is brand new.
