After House Hacking, or if you can’t find a way to House Hack, you should invest where you feel you have a competitive advantage.

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

You can find multiple good deals, we are growing at a very fast rate with multiple industries coming here. 

Collect cleaning fees and put more of the booking fee on the traveler if your rentals are in demand and it's the market isn't overly competitive.

@Julie Doke: Industry specific software speaks to you and you can easily relate it to your day to day process.

Naturally, they are your competition and the daily rates need to be taken into account.

I don't disagree that Airbnb claims can be difficult but this is all very common in the industry. 

At the national level, it's the best of the worst in that industry - a lot left to be desired in the customer service department but still better than doing it on your own.

Sometimes 5 in the case of 9% LIHTC deals but all the way up to 15 as I’ve seen in 4% deals.  9% is competitive meaning there’s only a certain amount of projects awarded each year by your states HCR.  4% is not competitive and is usually more appropriate for large projects because 9% will get allocated to projects of smaller size so as to spread the benefit.  

You will lose one of the best benefits of the real estate industry, appreciation.
