Quote from @Geoffrey Rickaby:

If they don't need an "official" floor plan, there is a free app where you walk around the room with your mobile device pointed at where the floor and wall meets. It will map out the rooms and give you dimensions including square footage. This is the same app that my photographer uses for my listings.

Quote from @Joe Whitley:

I have recently signed up a new property manager for my short term rental in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. With a new PM I’ve lost my excellent review history. How do I overcome this problem since reviews seem to be very important for bookings?


It is always a bit difficult to get going in the beginning. I would recommend a bit more competitive pricing and really giving those first few guests an amazing experience (extra goodie bags, hand written notes etc)

As a local cohost, I actually require all my owner's to create their own account and add me as a cohost. They retain all the Airbnb reviews even if they ever transition away from me. I urge all other owners to try to find someone else who will do the same!! reviews are valuable.

Hey Abram!!

If you are local to the SLC or Utah county area, I highly recommend attending local SLREIA or UTREIA groups. Amazing speakers and tons to learn !

Real Estate Rookie podcast from BP also gave me a ton of knowledge . It is geared towards newer investors.

well i saw the property yesterday. has a few weird things about it . Pex Piping , Slab foundation, no slider or door for rear access from inside the house (have to add a side gate entrance to the rear) No garage, No Dining room (possibly could put a small table but the island would be a better idea)

What's wrong with Pex? It is used a lot today, actually has many advantages over old copper. Same with slab....what's your concern about that?

Re the back door, can you take out a rear facing window and use that existing header to pop in a french door?

No garage is a bummer but certainly not a deal breaker.....

Most people don't use dining rooms any more anyway.....

If the numbers are that good, I'd go for it....


 totally agree. I am in the northern Utah market, and although we don't have a lot of slab foundations, PEX is the go-to plumbing option. Nothing wrong with it at all


The ONLY possible problem is if the installer is inexperienced and/or does not have the proper fitting tool (proprietary). But yeah, being old school, I was wary at first....but after years and years and lots of houses with no issues, I gave in. It sure saves time...and make a replumb of a house real easy as compared with copper...


 Yeah you are totally right.. a bad installer can cause many problems. But a bad installer with copper can cause just as many problems. 

I came from Chiacago where copper and conduit were king.. now being in Utah for almost a decade and seeing pex and romex for many years be safely and successfully used, I am a believer.

I recommend seeing if there are any RE investing or wholesaling groups in your market. you can even make a post about looking for off market deals and connect with wholesalers that way

Quote from @Luis Guerra:

I already have a home in the Disney area that I purchased pre Covid and it’s making me about 3k in profits per month on airbnb. I have an opportunity to purchase 2 homes for about 300k each that make me about 1.5k per month each in profit. I’m also looking at a larger property in south Florida listed for 750k and can possibly profit 4K per month on airbnb based on my comparisons in the area. Would you go for 2 smaller properties or the bigger property? Take in consideration that the bigger property will appreciate more in the long run because of the area.

 Totally agree with the others on this thread.. better cash flow and higher appreciation, sounds like a  better deal. RE isn't about the quantity of properties always, quality is king
