We plan on being  long distance owners/mgrs and can't imagine findng & hiring someone to rent a truck, drive around and grab furniture on a onesy/twosy basis, particularly within a reasonable timeframe to not delay launch. 

Quote from @Lauren Lockett: I wanted to be transparent and share where I’m at in my journey — hoping this helps someone else, and also opens the door for advice and connection.After a year and a half of analysis paralysis, I finally launched my Texas STR this summer.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Cute condominium located at the feet of Lake Oswego downtown on the Willamette River that forms from Columbia River and travels through the state or Oregon.

I launched a business in May of 2025 managing short-term and mid-term rentals in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

I did this in 2000, was made an equal partner in 2002, and launched my own fund in late 2002 choosing to go solo.  

In that time, I've scaled up to 5 properties including a house hack, 3 small multifamily LTRs, and now working on launching my first STR with a partner.

I was one of the first 5 people to join Blair's program when he launched it years ago.

We just launched Grundstein Holdings LLC with a long-term goal of building $15K/month passive income in 14 years through small multifamily investing (2–4 units), using VA loan house hacking and BRRRR strategies.We’re here to learn, connect, and share the journey—starting with our first property this year.

The city is in the process of launching the online registration system for these new rules, which were implemented to address concerns about safety and neighborhood impact.

If they truly are out of tourist zoned land to keep adding those neighborhoods that should help settle things over the next few years, but I'm not really seeing anything in the near-term now that Epic Universe launched without much effect.
