Many markets are very competitive so you want to think about where your property falls and how you plan to market, stand out, and get bookings. 

Although bigger is normally better in real estate, there are benefits to being a smaller investor (as Chad Carson points out in his book.) 

There is one book for 49 states and a separate book for California. 

Now that i think about it maybe i should write a "tell nothing" book lol! 

@John N Cook any insights into how the C-corp valuation is established in order to justify the stock purchase via the ROBS 401k account, assuming the c-corp has no assets or revenue on the books - how does one justify the investment in an audit?

Look into their various podcasts, books, interviews, blogs, etc. if yo'ure still researching.

The stays are longer than STRs so of course you would expect more wear and tear and a deep cleaning after each booking.

I am very new to RE investing and reading the above book. 

I am here after reading a book on “how to invest in real estate” by joshua and brandon. i have never owned any properties so far and i am willing to enter into real estate world this year.

See a RE attorney and use every trick in the book to put off the FC or BK.
