Does anyone know a good website to get Airbnb heat map statistics? Comps and occupancy rates. Specifically I am looking for the Baltimore area.  Just read an article about how airbnb stays in Baltimore doubled over the last year. '

Hi there,  check out the Bigger pockets events section. I posted one there that is happening next week. Good luck! 

Please join us for an evening of meeting new friends and growing your business in the real estate industry.

Extending your network is always a good idea no matter the business you are in and my goal for this event is to help you connect with other wonderful commercial and residential real estate professionals in the Baltimore area.

Do you find yourself getting excited and talking about your next big real estate deal and your friends just don't understand?? Bring your stories and expertise to happy hour - We are all ears!

Please feel free to pass this along to other friends and professional contacts. The more the merrier! There is no sponsor for this FREE event.

Hi Sebastian, I see noone has responded to your question. I am considering turning my current rental by Patterson Park/JHH into a short-term airbnb rental. Have you found out anything? Are you still considering operating one? I live nearby so I am thinking it would be pretty easy to manage. I may do a test run anyway. Thanks! 

Thank you everyone for your input. They did respond to my e-mail that it was only zoned for 1 unit. Unfortunately the seller accepted a cash offer so unless something falls through I am out on this property and on the search for the next.  The research I did will no doubt be helpful though as it seems this is a pretty common scenario! 

Hello everyone, I put an offer in on a short-sale property in the Hamilton area that used to be rented out as 2 units however it does not have an active multi-family registration. I know it is located in a district that requires a conditional use ordinance (Zone R-3)  per the new zoning code so I would have to go through the headache of applying with the zoning board. I don't think it would be too much of a hassle to proceed with a loan as a 1 unit and tear out the kitchen appliances in the 2nd unit upstairs (they are gross anyway!) but If I were to rehab the 2nd unit after the fact I would want to do so legally if possible. Keeping it one unit is not the end of the world, I will still get good cash flow but would prefer to have 2. 

 I see that there are quite a few properties already on the street that are legally zoned for multi. Do you think that would impede me from getting a multi-unit registration? 

 Should I talk to the neighbors? Any tricks in this area?  It seems to be a problem for a lot of investors from what I have been reading. 

I have already ready these posts and the related resources:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi everyone! I'm new to Bigger Pockets as well but have dabbled in real estate investing in the last few years. @Sam G. Why don't we do our own? I have a few friends in the business (RE agents, engineers, CPA's) who are not on Bigger Pockets and I think it would great way to mingle and share ideas. I wouldn't mind planning a happy hour or something. Thoughts?
