Starting out in Real Estate, Hoping to start an AirBNB

[Ann Bertrand]

Hi everyone, I am just starting out with real estate and I was hoping to get some professional advice!

I am a rising senior at Howard University and because I don't have the capital to purchase a home or an apartment, I wanted to rent a place and use it for airbnb while renting it out. I've also considered renting a place and then subleasing it to another tenant for a slightly higher rate. I'm not sure where to start as I am aware that many apartments and homes in South Florida are under a HOA. I am currently in the process of trying to build my business credit but because I don't have evidence of a steady income, I'm a little worried that this could spoil my plans. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks.
