While it does not have the tour component, it does allow for quick spherical panorama photos where you can see every wall, ceiling and floor. 

@Pax Magaway I am a huge fan of the live in starts. whether you have remodel or a house hack component either way it is a great way to get started and learn the house before having tenants in it.Congrats on nailing down your strategy and taking steps the right way! 

Besides marketing the larger component is the list of questions to ask and how we ask them.  

for someone whos only goal is to own rental houses and do nothing else.. then I guess that works.. but true equity is an important component when going to the next level.. 

I like to look at each component of the process on an itemized level first so that when I do work with a developer I can have my own reference for all the bundled costs associated with the build proposal. 

Keep in mind @Mario Morales that they take premiums, invest them so there is a profit component on invested returns, and hence amplifies how far the $ can spread on payouts. less than stellar returns and expanding claims, yes, rising premiums is a certainty. 

With all that said,  there is a key component that is important for me.

i've started to think of my rental income as one component of my financial portfolio. 

Airbnb's social media component and verification system really helps with vetting tenants.

To wrap it all up my friends, let's be clear, STOP calling owning a Small Business that you invest IN, "investing" because while there is a component to that such as one does in ANY business one owns or launches, it's NOT "Investing".
