Own it or Rent it…which short term rental team are you on!

Arbitrage seems to be the hot strategy versus traditional short term rentals.

Do benefits of scaling quick without dealing with lenders or too much cash outlay outweigh the perks of down payment and appreciation?

In a vacuum I am team own it, but do both as every opportunity is situational.

Would love to see where the Bigger Pockets crowd lands on arbitrage versus owning! I have a hunch its going to be a one sided assault

Cheers!

Arbitrage is just a job not RE investing. 

Own it!
