I’d love to hear from others who have reached a comfortable place in real estate:What’s your next step once you’ve “made it”?

With your strong W2 income, you’re in a position to recover and reassess your strategy.If you decide to stay in REI, focus on what worked—like your earlier BRRRRs and house hack.

And unless you have very deep pockets, you can't afford to be that much off....So as has been said....hire a very experienced General Contractor and have them give you a budget number based on your SOW, (plus they will find other things that need to be done that you will not have seen).On your succeeding projects, you do a budget yourseld first, then hire the GC and compare numbers.Then, eventually you will be comfortable going all solo...but it takes time.

In the end my duplex - 2bed/2 bath on each side- stays fully booked mostly by construction workers and it's been working really well for me. 

Also stay away from craigslist.

Quote from @Himateja Madala: @John Underwood with 6bed/6 bath I am targeting more multi family travelers who prefer staying together.

Once you’re comfortable, focus on creating content that reflects your business’s unique personality and values.If editing and creating thumbnails feels like too much, hiring someone on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork can save you time.

Hey @Robert Carmody, we are only on AirBNB and VRBO and they work just fine.I have been reluctant to do a Booking.com listing due to the negative reviews I have heard from other hosts.Booking.com was geared towards hotel stays, which means your STR gets treated like a hotel room.

Those should drive a ton of traffic to your listing.Furnished Finder is the go to for MTRs (long term rentals with a shorter stay, over 30 days).You can also use FB like @Bruce Woodruff mentioned but you will need to get everything setup to take bookings.
