Hemlane is for the owner that wants to keep an eye on things, and be involved in the decisions, but wants a layer between them and the tenants. 

This was a value add and I knew that the negative cash flow would not last long.

STRs can work well here, but I’d avoid going all-in since they’re seasonal and regulation-prone.A blended approach can give you stability and upside, STRs for peak season cash, mid-term furnished rentals for military and traveling professionals, and a couple of long-term units for steady baseline income.

Also, the BLS jobs revisions last week showed huge drops, and those numbers were consistent with ADP numbers and other academic numbers.
