Just finished Avery's book and am looking to create a giant checklist of to-do's and start analyzing markets.

Consider adding amenities like beach gear or a hot tub to boost bookings.

Look into tools like CoStar, LoopNet, and ARGUS for commercial property analysis, and consider books or courses on underwriting and market analysis.

@Dave MaloneEverytime I read “the goldmine is in the network” to me they are selling kegs of kool aid and it’s a circle you know what with nothing for itYou could read j Scott book and get a lot of info on costs etc.

Our goal is to have a small but mighty portfolio, much like Chad Carson’s model he describes in his book and podcast.

A lot of the cost is associated with the drive to get out and back to our lake house.If your friend isn't listed on VRBO, she is missing out on revenue and bookings. 

I'm a professional musician and have dreamed of being in the real estate game for many years while I read books and listed to pods on the subject.

Simple answer is Investors have people like me and many others in BP to keep the books clean as possible, usually running some form of accounting tool/platform.

I love how practical and concrete this book is about evaluating options and making a decision.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.
