@Julian Joseph I think your desire to learn more is the right approach. Part of the reason that BiggerPockets is such a successful platform is because there are so many people who are willing to share. @Ken Latchers, you have to remember that every venture isn't for everyone. We all have to find that niche and I know there are tons of ways for people to make money. I have been to many REI meetings where people were discouraging me from doing Airbnb because the laws are changing, and I have had to politely tell seasoned investors that it works for ME.
If Julian is serious and has a tenacious spirit, I think he can find success in Arbitrage. There is always an opportunity in everything. Personally I have researched Airbnb Arbitrage, and have found little success arbitraging, at least in my market, but I persist with looking for opportunities.
I personally hold and rent traditional real estate here in Central Florida and hold Short term rentals that I AirBnB, so I have a pretty good perspective of the market. But being persistent and pursuing a idea is a great way to form your own niche in any market, and if you just ask, there is definitely someone out there willing to share. Lastly, as a seasoned investor, I NEVER feel threatened by someone out there wanting to do what I do. My motto is there more than enough business out there for everyone. It's important to remember, that the market will always be a challenge, and we all need to work hard to keep our hustle game strong and make money.
