Newcomer looking for any help making that first step

[Justin Moench]

Hi everyone! New to all of this and just in the first few months of learning. I am having doubts of where to get our first airbnb. Don't have a huge budget and like in NJ near NYC so everything is exponentially expensive. Have been thinking a small place in a ski place kind of area. In all likelihood that would mean NY state or PA elk mountain area. But I thought I would ask this community for a first time getting into this.
