Reasons why I shouldn't do this: I have no experience running a residential care facility, I have never done a house hack, I already work a very time intensive day job...do I really have the bandwidth for this?

Be careful of the brokers on here, Whole life has always been a scam and you will never find someone who cares more about your money than you do.

Don't know, but you always make an offer at your price point once you have done a deal analysis.Normally, I don't care about the seller, since you don't know their background. 

After looking through the past threads regarding senior housing it seems like it is a very difficult market to enter due to the need to essentially be a health care provider.

Appfolio typically requires a minimum of 50 doors in their system.Buildium doesn't care and is a bit easier to use - albeit it does not have as many features.

Of course they don't care for you.

I am getting a lot of colleague request where the person does not have anything on their profile and some don’t even have any post plus they don’t even care enough to send a short message.

They are way too guest centric and often leave owners hanging.VRBO and AirBNB should be all you use in addition to looking at direct booking as well.You can rent an ozone machine which should take care of the smoke smell.

Over time, you'll find ebb & flow between sources, but you MUST maintain the 3-5 at all times as it's difficult to predict which ones will work, when.BTW: be careful of hiring companies to drive leads.

Hi @Melinda Eilts, I’ve seen that work well when structured carefully, private money for flexibility and a short-term loan to bridge timing or rehab costs.
