The new owners spent days cleaning the lawn, repaired the furniture and threw the property us for rent on the newly created AirBnB platform.

Quote from @Jack Pasmore: Nick, love to see you getting back in the game!

Platforms like BiggerPockets, local REI meetups, and Facebook groups can connect you with investors seeking opportunities.Joint Venture Partnerships: Consider partnering with a seasoned developer or investor who can provide the capital while you contribute your vision and operational effort.Hard Money Loans: If you’ve identified a property, some hard money lenders may fund the purchase and development based on the future value (ARV) of the project.Crowdfunding Platforms: Sites like Fundrise, Groundfloor, and RealtyMogul cater to real estate developments and could be a great way to gather capital.Seller Financing: If the land seller is open to it, negotiate terms to finance the purchase directly with them.2.

  (2) Variable cost: platform fees from Airbnb and VRBO, lodging/hotel/transit or whatever pass-through tax your local AHJ requires, cleaning fee, cost of replacement for consumables, repair and maintenance, etc. 

With a 9-5 job too busy to catch a breather, being that it will be my first rental property would you recommend finding a property management company to oversee the investment property OR create a profile on a property management platform, I am thinking about Avail unless there is a better platform, to collect rent and hire specialist as issues arise from tenants?

Quote from @Lindsey Buxton: Want to level up your passive investing game?

There are also online platforms that will handle managing security deposit compliance, refunds, etc. like rentable.com

Curious why you don't want to use those platforms?

Lenders want to protect their investment not because of possibly you but your profile (little equity / assets etc) which is common for someone in their early 20's - want to make sure skin in game.

You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”
