Looking to Expand My Portfolio, How to get Started

[Nicole Johnson]

Greetings,

I am a 45-year-old individual seeking to expand my investment portfolio with additional properties. Currently, my husband and I manage four Airbnb listings. We own two of these properties, while the other two are leased and operated as Airbnbs. Notably, the leased properties are located outside the United States, and we manage them remotely.

We have our downpayment saved and approximately $450,000 in combined equity from our existing properties. We would greatly appreciate any advice on promising markets, recommendations for reliable agents and lenders, as well as insights on how to proceed as newcomers to the industry. Our experience is in short-term rentals, but we are open to the idea of being landlords if we find the right property.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
