With Airbnb prices rising, we loved the idea of investing in a few different small apartments scattered around the world so we would have a virtually free place to stay, and when we were not there we would make money off of sites like Booking and Airbnb.

I read Brian’s book and still learned more than a few things.  

I've been reading books on the subject (Small and Might Real estate investor) and listening to the BP podcasts for a few months now, and I was initially very excited about finding a multi-family property to start out, in order to maximize my leverage against an FHA loan.

After reading one of Brandon Turners books, I would like to invest into a house hack for my first deal.

So for the bookings we get on there, I am invoicing her monthly for the cleaning fees and then 18% of the rental rates for each booking.

Estimating is both art & science and FWIW most professional estimators rarely get it spot on, usually operating within a Delta.There's tons of estimating books, software etc.

We were hoping for another 5-star to start with an official 5-star review but we got the review that kills, a 4-star bringing us down to 4.67 below the direct competition and also with a content that I think could prevent further bookings.

And yes, the income from renting is still taxable, but ideally you are offsetting a chunk of that with depreciation which is a non-cash expense.You should read Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland's books as well which are available in the BP Bookstore. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/tax-strategies-book...
