I also received my broker's license tho (solely to become more knowledgeable while making personal real estate investments), but I don't see their logic, so I figured I'd turn to BiggerPockets to help me better understand what's going on. 

I’ve been interested in getting started in airbnb, but with all the information available online I’ve fallen victim to analysis paralysis.I’m open to hear others thoughts on what they would do if in my position. p.s.I live in Michigan 

Qualifications typically center around whether the monthly rental income can at least break even (1.00 DSCR) with the monthly PITI.We would simply need to know the following information to determine eligibility, interest rate, and loan terms for DSCR financing:o Purchase or Refinanceo Property Addresso Monthly Rental incomeo Annual Taxeso Annual Insuranceo Estimated Credit ScoreThe documentation is relatively light as well, compared to a conventional loan underwritten to your personal income/taxes/debts.▪ Entity documents ▪ 2 months of bank statements ▪ Photo ID ▪ Lease agreement (refinance) ▪ Sales contract (purchase)

I am old school I would never personally do that..

I know there does not seem to be a strong presence on BP for people in the New River Valley area (Pulaski, Radford, Blacksburg, Roanoke) but I would like to try and get some type of networking event going (either in person or in an online group). 

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

We've also been exploring properties in person.

So now I’m stuck at the stage of choosing a market.I have ~$60k saved up and set aside (separate from personal expense/emergency funds).

Ping me if you're personally interested to help shape it or reply if you have features/capabilities you would love to see.

We have in-person meetups once a month in Northern NJ.
