My name is Carlos I am 24 years old and looking to get my foot in the door with real estate.

That has been changing however with the rise of Airbnb and VRBO, and now more guests expect that all to be supplied for the duration of their stay, and not just have a starter supply.  

Hotel / Motel taxes are rising beginning July 2022 for Gilmer county.

I'd say house-hacking is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door of investing.

Been investing in Iowa for over 10 years and I am the Broker/Owner of EPM Iowa, a management company with around 500 doors under management.  

Thanks,Ani I recommend putting in a security screen door.

Maybe you can put up a wall and add a door and now you have a 5 bedroom.

If you just look at a place with no jobs and everyone has to drive 10-20 miles to work, these can be problematic if fuel prices rise or there is a recession. 

If you're brand new, I think offering your services to someone for the first few months gratis is a great way to get your foot in the door.

Door rents went from $495 a door to $640 a door in a few months.
