Once you graduate and have a steady income, consider house hacking as a beginner-friendly strategy—buying a small multifamily property, living in one unit, and renting out the others to offset your mortgage.

On-site lodging gives our venue a competitive advantage over others without lodging, and also provides us an income stream on non-event nights (by renting them on Airbnb/VRBO/direct).https://www.battengreen.com/

This can range from minor exaggerations to outright lies about employment, income, rental history, or identity.Key Signs of Potential Fraud:Inconsistencies in Documentation: Discrepancies between the documents provided and the information filled out in the application form can be a red flag.

Appreciation: Are you primarily looking for immediate cash flow (rental income exceeding expenses) or are you betting on long-term appreciation?

As for the investing, I’ll probably be looking for a 3-4 family rental property to generate a little bit of passive income.   

In 2019, I launched my own revenue management agency to help Airbnb owners boost their income and achieve greater returns on their short-term rental properties.

My plan is to put 5% down on a 30-year conventional loan and have the rental income help cover part of the mortgage.

All this just to hopefully cashflow a few hundred $$ a month, doesn't seem worth it.Lately, I am really leaning on just investing in REIT's like Realty Income (o). as I write this Realty Income is at $57.75 paying $0.264 monthly dividend.  

When I'm figuring out how to price an Airbnb I always cross-reference AirDNA or PriceLabs to get an estimate on what the income would be.

I think if you have a little extra time, operating a smaller STR business can pick up some good income.
