I have 2 properties now one I live in but Short Term Rent it when not home which is a lot.

Now take short-term AirBnB properties like one of mine in Miami.

.- You will have to come out of pocket for the arears, fees etc, just to get into "contract" some times $20k or more and all you have as protection is the word of someone who's proven to be unreliable and a signed piece of paper... 

I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with or can recommend paid mentorship programs or coaches for small multifamily unit investing (2-4 units).In my research, I’ve found that most mentorship programs or resources I come across are geared toward large syndication apartment building purchases or other types of investments, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, single-family homes, Section 8, or fix-and-flip projects.

Long term, your property is going to up in value; likely way up.

Most of the bad noise right now is about downtown skyscrapers and REIT or Syndication apartment complexes where they played short term versus long term interest rates wrong.  

@Joshua MiddletonI am very familiar with that street, good friend used to rent Long term on it for about 7 years.  

Actually the IRS does not tell us what we can invest in, only what is disallowed (life insurance contracts and collectibles).Allowable investments for SDIRA investing include the following:Residential real estate, including: apartments, single family homes, and duplexesCommercial real estate Undeveloped or raw landREITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)Real estate notes (mortgages and deeds of trusts)Promissory notes Private limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and C corporationsTax lien certificatesOil and gas investmentsPrivate stock offerings, private placementsJudgments/structured settlementsGold bullion Factoring investments

Quote from @Andrea Wellman: Would like to invest in short term rentals to start and learn from this forum and experts.
