Yes and a few bookings on Airbnb cost your ranking on Vrbo.

I'm a 2x house hacker here in LA (a case study in the BP book The House Hacking Strategy) and an out of state investor.

You would need to tap into what the market may draw because not all markets could support this type of guest avatar.You may be able to get just enough bookings to at least cover your monthly expenses by leaning into your listing and how you market the property.

There are towns that are not too far where there could be some options for you, but I would start going to real estate investor meetups and pair that with books and podcasts.

However going into the summer my bookings have slowed down, i do not currently have a pool. 

. :)The best book I've read is "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer Strauss.

Quote from @Iliana Herrman: Brandon wrote his book over ten years ago and the market was very different at that time.

I just want to make sure I do everything by the book.

I want to preface this by saying I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to real estate investing, but the more books and resources I consume, the more I find myself gravitating towards commercial real estate, specifically hotels!
