I've been thinking I want to work for real estate investors in whatever capacity if I can be trained and also learn at the same time, or work somewhere that would still allow me to have an income while I'm learning at the job within the real estate environment.... does this sound like a good idea? 

Short-term rentals like Airbnb can perform well in tourist-heavy areas like Vegas, but be sure to check local regulations.

NOPE  these are not federally or state regulated loans or lenders they owe u NOTHING.

The regulatory environment is the first thing you should consider when buying a STR here - it is both the worst and best part of being a CO STR investor.

There are markets that have built in "gotchas" like the rising cost of insurance in coastal FL, regulations in much of the west coast states and property taxes in Texas; however, the deal itself is the most critical factor.

However, if they are still considered a short-term guest under lodging rules, you may have more flexibility, though the specifics can depend on local regulations in Seattle.Since this can become a legal gray area, I recommend documenting all agreements, payments, and communication with the guest.

It's worth mentioning the STR regulations are relatively new, and I think some properties currently operating are basically grand-fathered with the old permit, and I don't know if being a new owner one'd be able to get a new permit if it's not in the designated location.

This is a form of coliving property management that fits rent-by-the-room coliving environments, but it would not fit apartment coliving environments. 

Ensure you understand local regulations regarding permits; it’s usually a good idea for your associates to form an LLC for liability protection, but individuals can do renovations as long as they pull the necessary permits.

Also check if there are any boarding house regulations in your area that would impact you.
