I'd be happy to share my experiences from both perspectives.

I'd connect with some local investors either through the Airbnb app.. can message them as a guest and ask for a phone call to see their experiences and see if someone can send you their P/L or share experiences, and or connect with local facebook groups.

I have 3 years of experience in real estate investment projects here in Dallas, TX.

Sounds like for now the idea of eventually selling the branded account is a no-go, but there still remains pros/cons on each option and I'd love to hear what others have considered or their experience in adding more STRs/boutique hotel type properties to their portfolios.

While I’m not a newbie, I own two condos as long term rentals, I live overseas and thus my real estate experience is overseas.

And should I get a degree or any academic qualification to have more experience and knowledge about real estate?

I have 10 years of experience in retail real estate and a couple of partners who are interested in investing with me.

@Colin Ford recommend getting experience with your RI duplex before going OOS.You should DIY manage the unit next door, so you LEARN about property management, the goog, the bad and the ugly.Then you'll be so much better prepared to invest OOS!

Hi BP, As a newcomer to the real estate investment scene, I wanted to see if anyone had experience with Section 8 investments in Detroit.
