Quote from @Kyle Kline: Hello,I am curious if anybody has experience using short note investing to raise funds for an investment property down payment.

Anyone have experience with a short term management company called BNB Monthly

I’ve been looking into areas like Oakhurst, Mariposa, Yosemite West, and surrounding towns.If you own or manage a vacation rental in this region, I’d love to hear about your experience.

My experience in Massachusetts, where it took nearly a year to evict a non-paying tenant, has made me more selective about the locations I invest in.I am looking forward to learning and sharing insights with this community! 

Managing a rental property can be challenging, especially if it’s your first experience.

Thank you  The good GCs charge 20% but this does not equate to your savings because the GC will have better contacts, have namer experience coordinating contractors, be more familiar with permit process and expectations of the inspectors.  

I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up developments.

Any insights/people with experience in this market who can chime in?

In terms of finding a partner, I would recommend partnering with someone who has something that you don't have (understands renovations, real estate experience, has money, etc.)

Hi does anyone have experience with providing direct STR stays (so not through Airbnb or VRBO) and charging, collecting, and remitting the local Chicago hotel tax?
