I'm thrilled to share that I've taken a big step towards my dreams and just purchased my very first Airbnb property in the beautiful town of Blue Ridge, GA! 

However, it seems that the contractor missed a step with installation.

Do those steps and you will know your market potential.  

Making sure the property "flows" outside is a key component I have personally found - assuring nobody is stepping on toes, encroaching on each other's outside space, or blocking cars in, etc. 

Put the want need wish emotion down and step on it like it was cockroach.  

What should be my next step?

Welcome to the investment world, and congrats on taking the first steps!

I have read through Michael Blank's Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing and am ready to go on to next steps. 

@Tim MelinPro - didn't take into consideration personal income or debt.Con - stiff prepayment penalties that are typically a 5-yr step down and the rates have gone up considerably in the last two months making them a poor option at the moment if you believe rates will go down in the next year or two.

I bought one courthouse step deal in Philly and that was quite the ride.. its a locals market for SURE..
