I want to thank everyone who has given the attention to this post. Really means a lot that you all spread your knowledge and help guide us "to be" investors in the right direction. I think i'm going to try as some of you mentioned, to be upfront when asking about the  AIRBNB idea and perhaps offer some % of the cashflow to where we all benefit. I see I need to do some more research so that's where I will start. If this works out cool! if not I will look for another avenue to get in the game. 

This really helped me open up on BP I will def be tracking my progress on here as it comes. I hope to hear from you all in my future newbie questions!  Thanks again !  @Mindy Jensen @Denis Moreira @Elyse M. @Andrew Johnson @James Carlson

I was recently listening to the latest podcast episode of BP (#229 Early retirement through short-term rental properties) and it kinda of struck a cord with me. The idea dawned on me that I could possibly rent a condo or apartment in a nice area of Miami (close to the areas where the tourist come for like the beach, downtown, bayside, brickell, wyndwood) and actually rent it out on Airbnb in hopes of making enough money to pay the lease and then some as Zeona mentions she did in the past. Now, I'm not an unrealistic person and I know that not all formulas work the same for everyone, but I figure why not at least ask on BP to see if anyone has done this in the past and can offer some advice?

SO, The idea in short terms is, lease a nice apartment or condo in a central location close to the hot spots of Miami, put the place on Airbnb and POSSIBLY be able to pay for the lease as well as some cash flow. Any suggestions? advice? anything would be greatly appreciated.

Hi BP!

This is my first time ever posting on here. I dont want to make this too long so I will get right to it. Currently I live in Miami Fl, as a lot of you know the market here in south Florida in very pricey and I'm having trouble finding properties that make sense in terms of cash flow to start off. Some background on me, I am 25 years old, currently have a job in the mortgage loan servicing industry, I make a "decent" yearly income of about 47k a year (excluding year end bonuses ranging from 2-4k), I have some debt which I am currently working on towards paying down. My ultimate goal is to buy some properties and hold for rental income. 

Here's where my question begins:
