If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help! 

I'm also looking to get my hands on a good calculator for short term rentals since I'm terrible with Excel and only have a calculator for long term rentals that I know is missing sections that are specific to short term.Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated :) BiggerPockets has an Airbnb calculator, and I see that you're a pro member.Since you've read the STR book and done other education, you know HOW to pick a market lol.

Have you ever seen rents actually go lower (I'd assume this would only happen if occupancy dropped significantly, but that seems like something that could happen in a recession).Also a BAM specific question/concern - from what I understand they are based in Indiana, and I see in their current open offering one of the properties is in Indiana (great) but I'm wondering why the other property is in Arkansas? 

Are you interested in a specific startegy (brrrrs, flips, vacation rentals, etc)?

You’ll learn a lot from others’ experiences and get answers to specific questions.2.Use the Networking Feature: Connect with other members in your area or those with similar investing interests.

I think you need to be more specific.

Feel free to reach out if you need any guidance or have questions about property management specifics!

But the likelihood of success with that depends on the specific street.

Also would love answer to the following: - Are there any specific challenges or advantages you experienced compared to a JV structure?

I think the freedom of not paying your primary mortgage would be a huge stress relief and allow you to deploy cash quicker in the future and feel safer taking risks when you know your own living situation is covered.On the rental side, I know the magic ingredient in real estate is time and the sooner you get properties, the sooner they appreciate and are paid off by tenants and 5+ rentals 20-30 years from now would definitely be worth more than the one primary.Would love anyone's thoughts on how you would go about this situation!
