buy a mult with 3% down and live in 1 unit and have the other 1 or 2 units pay the bills. rinse and repeat. get wealthy and be extra generous.

For a 2 bedroom my projected ongoing is around 13-15k (not counting the rent) at the end of the year because this is my first Airbnb Arbitrage I have and will make mistakes expense wise, the start up costs also is not factored because furnishing and starting everything from scratch obviously will skew the ongoing expenses which would add another 5-8k but I played it smart and have most of the funding charged to buisness credit cards with 0% APR for 12-18 months such that I save money and can take the year in paying back also with sign on bonuses which will save me up to 1.2k or more.If and when I hit my conservative projections my profit should be around 16,300-22000 by the end of the year this is after rent, expenses, cleaning fees and so on. 

Then moved out and we're sharing another house hack with less than $200 out of pocket monthly for utilities and internet while using 3 bedrooms and a bonus room for ourselves.

She really is a wholesaler using their services and they give a bonus in the form of skip traced leads to their current clients for referrals.

It was bonus that CA had near fixed property taxes.The low vacancy rate decreases the odds of getting a bad tenant because the tenants realize then will need a good LL reference to obtain local housing. 

Kissimmee is still a strong STR market, especially with Disney nearby, but competition has increased.The smaller pool and backyard might be a concern for some guests, but the privacy from the freeway could be a nice bonus.

However, they didn't discuss how the student was able to raise another 40K (which I'm significantly concerned about lending 40K from a hard money lender and pay APR 20%).Second Day,They told us that they were giving out a bonus session for early comers.

I’m not exactly sure who would have been liable, etc if we accepted it as a bonus., but we immediately paid off the first lien. 

And SF appreciates much better in my area which is a bonus too.

Appreciation is not a bonus or luck, it is literally the number one wealth-generating force in real estate.
