@Bryan Sandera Hey Bryan, did you end up trying it? How did it work out for you? Airdna.co has a rentalizer feature which is free and will give you a pretty accurate quote on what you can expect a home to make based on the address. Good luck!

Excited to be speaking at this event! See you all there =)

Hi Andre, 

I've met people who travel full time and live off one airbnb properties and yet, I love to travel but cannot manage it full time, so I have a few homes that I rent full time on airbnb and rent my personal home every time I'm gone, even just for a weekend. 

Ultimately, only you know the best option for yourself. It definitely depends on where you would like to live and how much you have to invest. 

@Luke Carl, I disagree with you. A 1-2 bedroom can be furnished for around 4K, using Craigslist and nice quality used items. 

It is definitely a viable idea in some markets, I just say marketing it to landlords with your clear intentions is the way to go. I also suggest making sure it is legal in the city you are in. 

Hi, I am a residential investor looking for a savvy investors agent in St. Louis with strong negotiating skills who is very knowledgable about the area. My current agent had complained to me a few times about how small the commissions were for such low cost properties (under 100K, which I found to be unprofessional) and has now asked me to pay him additional commission on top what the seller pays. 

I purchased a house in July and am just beginning the search for two more in the next month. I believe he should be satisfied with the volume of business I am bringing him. I am still a fairly new investor (purchased 2 homes in the last year) and after running comps in the area that I bought recently, I found that I could have negotiated at least a 10k less deal. He had never even offered to run comps. I do all the property analyzation and much of the search myself to be respectful of the agents time, knowing that commissions are smaller. I try to just use them for paperwork, negotiations, and some small advice only.

I don't believe I am being unreasonable but I am open to hearing what other investors think. I would love any and all recommendation for great agents. Thanks
