Short term vs Real Estate Rookie Bootcamp
Hey Everyone,
I'm looking to sign up for one of the upcoming boot camps. I'm weighing up which one would be better. I like the idea of short-term rentals but my time bandwith with my W2 is a little tight. I'm also looking at Duplex/Quadplex long-term rentals.
So my questions are:
- 1)Are STR's a huge amount of work to manage and would I be able to pull off STR if I have an emergency during working hours?
- 2)Is the Rookie Bootcamp geared towards long-term investing and will it give the right tools for my first investment venture (I have read a couple of BP books already.
Cashflow is what I'm looking for so I can continue to scale more to deals and move towards investing as a primary income stream.
Thanks,
Blaine

I’d do neither and buy a property. Everything you need to get started is on BP, the next best thing you can do is buy a duplex and get started. There’s too many unknowns you’ll run into that gurus or books can’t teach you. You can Airbnb or rent out the property.
I run airbnbs in upstate NY and make a killing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I’ll save you the money.
