My best piece of advice to you; find a way to establish a unique form of marketing to your seller versus trying to compete with other wholesalers in this area.

So each exchange will have it's own unique calendar and reinvestment requirements.  

The Speaker did a Good Job but then once he talked about the cost & fees & stuff saying people can pay $197 to stay & continue getting educated it went down hill, then started showing interior  decorating of a kitchen that was remodeled & i just was like "wow lol". 

I’m looking for creative financing options for a unique property.

Another $1100 went into furnishings, decorations and odds and ends to make it an attractive AirBnB.Our first week renting it was over Christmas. 

I also think that value add is a margin of safety play that is unique to real estate that works in any market condition.

I'm still working to understand how I can best leverage my unique situation to find success in REI, but I know that once I do have that clarity, I'm going to be hyper-focused in putting that plan into action!

So it's a very unique situation that caused me to be okay with negative cash flow. 

If you have a lower gross rental income per bookings (say $150 average booking for a small condo) and a similar $20 cost per basket, but that basket includes nothing that is tied to the identity of the property or makes it unique, it seems likely the repeat booking rate and likelihood of positive review will have minimal impact.

This rule is unique to 3 & 4 unit properties.
