@Dustin Turner thanks for the tip. I’m familiar with the area as a great vacation rental spot for a number of years and if I recall about 5-10yrs ago there were no real dominant vacation rental players there so I bet it was and is a great market for single property Airbnb. I’ll take a closer look. Maybe we can chat sometime about it.

They have about 5 years of these lines and total about $50k including penalties. last sale of the home was in 2016 and listed in the county records as $0 and the Condition of Sale listed as Other Unusual Factors. Any advice what I am looking at? 

@Mindy Jensen

I’m a competitive runner. It’s a pretty intense hobby.

Since I'm trying to break into the REI thing I now use my morning runs as sort of a driving for dollar's opportunity.

@Marcus Auerbach thanks for the time to reply. My pursuit of the license is to make an eventual career out of that, my interest in bundling it with an investment curriculum is simply to see if while I dedicate/carve out time for the licensing could I carve a bit more and also gather a investing education and if so is there some entity that offers this, thus might have an accompanying network or similar to take advantage of vs just choosing the license course and maybe independently finding some sort of investment course.

I hope that clarifies my intentions.

@Nancy Bachety thanks Nancy. My home on the North Fork is excellent this time of year and also getting insane rates from renters. We never planned to rent it and it’s not an investment it’s something I bought to keep for retirement in 30 years but the offers were so good for rentals we tried it a bit. Which is why I’m interested to try again and find a place we like but is more poised for being an investment via rental and eventual disposition after appreciating.

I also have to ensure the real estate is a diversification from the stock market and earns better returns than the stock market ideally or id just leave my money there maybe.

If you have time to chat, I’d love to talk short term rentals.

@Mike Shemp thanks for the info. I actually work in the travel tech field so A) I’m familiar with tech companies and other companies going remote first and B) I can actually see short term rental demand firsthand.

B is a nice advantage but I have not real estate investment experience so really need some guidance on what move to make to get started and a bit of hand holding with that first acquisition.

@Jaeseok An good idea to join the Airbnb group to look for sellers.

Thanks Mark. I will check them out tonight. I also would love to chat about short term rentals some day. I think that will be my niche of choice as i get started. Maybe we can connect later this month? 

I see that in some cases real estate companies or realtors sort of package some of their own educational content with the license course and I was looking to see if someone has a recommended package I should consider. I am interested in becoming a real estate agent but also in doing some of my own investing on the side, mainly in rentals. 

Thanks for any advice. 

We have a 2nd home by a beach in NY. This summer we started renting it out on Airbnb. We like the extra money and thought about other areas we might like to have a home to vacation at which we could buy and fund via long term rental with also an airbnb. Something like a 2 family or a Single Family with accessory apartment or structure on the property to rent short term. Ideal markets for us would be NY/NJ/PA ski areas, or lake/ski, Orlando theme park area, Florida beaches. 

I expect that many over extended Airbnb hosts or even people in general will be hit by a bad economy ahead and go into foreclosure or want to get out prior to that. Anyone have advice on how to find these and build this portfolio? 

Thanks
