There's a popular post circling about why direct booking sites for STR/MTR are overrated. Although the author makes some good points it skips over many of the benefits and how the risks can be mitigated.

Hey Brandon, the mid-market is pretty hot and affordable.

I’m active duty Air Force and used my VA loan benefit to buy three houses. 

The ADU does not have a private entrance; you enter on the side of the SFH and they both share the same back yard.It is at the top of our budget already and needs potential mini-split HVAC added to it to bring highest Air Bnb value.

Hey Hnu, the mid-market is pretty hot and affordable.

Think of dudes who cut their hot dogs into pin wheels and then top them with ketchup.

Sellers, in light of this new proposed ruling, will have a knee jerk reaction, but in time they will themselves see the importance of having to compensate for greater buyer attention.We came out of a white flame hot covid market where commissions were flying, sellers were getting paid, and buyers were getting smoked if they couldn't bring 100K above ask. 

Also more options for pest/hot tub care.Year 1 (2023) we had 79% occupancy, and frankly I think we were a little underpriced. 

Seems like they are running a Pawn Shop, homeowners in Austin/Miami/Tampa etc who need cash bad sell a "HomeShare", percentage of their equity in their home for a discount, with a term of 10 yrs, if the homes go up in value as they have since 2011/2012 then NADA gets the original equity already at a premium price plus any appreciation for the total percentage they bought from the homeowner, but since Austin now down 20% in last 12 months and other hot home markets may also continue to fall, and NADA does not engage in price discovery (ie shopping for best value) as they want to obtain a "Market Value - ETF like" of the cities they invest in.

Local Facebook groups of investors or subreddits can also be huge.2) Attend local meetups and REIA meetings, these can be great to meet potential clients and other contacts to source deals3) Friends and family CAN work but you should try this: set up a class on real estate investing, have yourself and other folks speak about how to get started and Invite every single person you know and if they're not interested, no problem, ask them if they know anyone that can benefit from that4) Longer term, but you can create content on available delas for Inst and TikTok, Real Estate investing is a hot topic and not many folks use those video platforms to show people real deals and how to get started.Best of luck.
