For example, 200 miles one way (guess) x $0.67 IRS mileage rate x 2 = $268 estimated vehicle cost per round trip, which is per guest stay.I'm using a calculator that factors in management costs (cleaning, hot tub maintenance, CapEX, OTA service fees, supplies, refunds, utilities, landscaping and internet) - it does NOT include marketing/tech tools like Lodgify, Guesty etc. so good flag. 

If you can find someone like that than that is your best bet!

I have a tricky question that I cannot find any good answers for on the internet.  

There has been a great shift away from YP advertising as owners are moving more towards SEO programs and the Internet for advertising.

Betting that is going to happen again while new smart participants have entered the market(sophisticated players like black rock) and retail (everyone who watches finance youtube knows about real estate) I think is a foolish bet.

Even if its not applicable to how you are looking to invest, areas where the government is putting a bunch of money could be good bets.

Which means I may well have been the only person foolish enough to bid on it, among the billions of people with internet access.On the other hand, the fact that the owner didn't pay taxes since 2018 is not a big red flag.

I'll bet less than 1% redeem, so you never earn that interest.   

Based on the info I've received from a few nice people here, it's looking like a BRRRR/house hack is going to be my next best bet.

Hey Ivan, since you mentioned you're new to real estate investing, starting with a turnkey property and house hacking first might be a safer bet.
