Im 34 years old and have my mind set on real estate investing.

I'm an accountant and bookkeeper specializing in real estate.

It's also helpful to consult a local real estate agent to understand market trends, including demand, vacancy rates, and rental growth patterns.

Hello,I'm from Canada and looking to get into the US real estate market.

If you choose to go the Syndication route, it's important to get comfortable with the GP and also underwrite the real estate as if you would personally purchase the property (even if you don't have the financial means to take down the property on your own).

Some design and amenity ideas:+ Welcoming living space with plush seating for family hangouts+ Coffee bar or stocked tea station for early mornings before campus events+ Dining table or breakfast nook perfect for family meals+ Dedicated workspace for parents who need to check in on workFor sports fans, tap into their game-day energy and make your STR the go-to spot for a fun, convenient stay:+ Big, comfortable seating & a great TV setup (think oversized couch, streaming sports channels)+ Game-day essentials like a mini fridge stocked with game-day snacks/drinks+ Outdoor space with a grill & seating for pre- or post-game gatherings+ Good parking (sports fans hate scrambling)+ Team spirit decor touches (subtle, not tacky—think framed sports prints, not full-on mascot murals)Your design & reviews will do most of the marketing but to market directly to these guests:🎯 List your STR on sites where parents and alumni book (if allowed)🎯 Partner with local businesses—coffee shops, sports bars, or tailgate services—where your ideal guests hang out🎯 Optimize your listing title and description with phrases like “Perfect for Visiting Parents & College Game Days”🎯 Time any discounts/promotions around major campus events—homecoming, graduation, big rivalry gamesThink of it this way, you’re not just offering a place to stay—you’re creating an experience they’ll want to book again and again.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice starting off with this business model.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

My business partner and I are looking to get into a property with cabins, tents, and RV spots on it. 

The answer to your question probably depends on other lifestyle factors, and your goals with your real estate portfolio.
