Hi everyone,I’m exploring the idea of purchasing a property in Big Bear Lake, CA to use as a short-term rental (Airbnb), and I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in the area.

To succeed, consult with a local realtor or property manager, split utilities/responsibilities, and explore niche rental platforms like Hipcamp.Good luck!

A bit about me: I’m currently exploring various investing strategies (fix-and-flip, buy-and-hold, etc.) and looking to expand my knowledge in residential and commercial real estate.

Ive never really explored this investment route but it's great to hear about your journey in specifics and how you've been able to overcome a lot of those challenges. 

Thoughtful pricing and presenting your property in its best light are what will capture buyer attention.Your Move in Today’s MarketFor buyers, this is your chance to explore a wider inventory and find the right fit.

Whether it’s exploring new investment strategies or diving deeper into commercial appraisals, I’m excited to engage in meaningful discussions.In my spare time, I enjoy renovating properties and spending time with my family.Looking forward to being part of this amazing community and growing alongside everyone here!

If you’re exploring similar investments, careful planning, a solid legal understanding, and possibly a local partner can make a big difference.

@Lena CastellanoTo prepare for your first real estate purchase next year, explore house hacking options, research rental regulations, network with contractors and investors, practice deal analysis, join local REI groups, and connect with agents.

I am eager to explore the opportunities that real estate investing has to offer.

I would also explore MTR to maximize rents.
