Got notified of an off market property already functioning as a STR... what questions to ask?

I use moen and make sure they have the stupid coil and squeeze on function.

Also, it has to function as its own entity separate from you.

Of course, I'm going to call my warm market, brings donuts to RE officers, and attend local business functions, but what are some other things I can do to start filling that pipepline?

Is the followed locations function currently down?

I have started with PeerStreet and the functionality is smooth. 

You're in the best place to connect with people in and around your target market.I recommend 3 things:1. use the 'search' function to find topics, members and areas of interest .

As I was kind of saying in my reply to Dan, I liked the idea of a duplex or rental with an ADU to attempt to avoid in part what you're describing which is that the rental isn't really function fully as an LTR or STR.
