My goal is to build the capital needed to start investing in Real Estate, and I felt this was the best way to get there.I spent 6 years as a project superintendent with a commercial builder, followed by 2 years as a construction manager in the track home industry.

Because they stop thinking about "getting squeezed" on today’s price and start thinking about the bigger win down the road.And here’s the key: You don’t chase.

I've been in real estate for the past 7 years, and I got my start like so many other investors through reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. 

Once the work was complete, I refinanced to pay off the hard money loan and held the property as a long-term asset.This duplex also marked the start of my short-term rental journey—we ran our first Airbnb from one of the apartments before scaling to bigger projects.

Is saving the fee a PM charges worth the potential thousands in cost and headaches?

Start there and see what you think.

That’s how I got started.

As you start you will want to take into consideration that many owners and hosts use more than just AirBNb to host their properties.  

As you start changing HVAC, windows, etc your budget certianly goes up.

And after several years you start doing cash out refinances.....If you can refinance one property every 1-2 years and withdraw $200k of equity....that's not taxable.
