Purchase price: $400,000 Cash invested: $209,000 5 bedrooms 2bathrooms, swimming pool, 2 car garage,1847 sq ft under air and 0.67 acres.

Yes and that portion broken up and used exclusively for the air bnb is also counted as investment space. 

I managed my own properties for 3 years before becoming long distance invester.Door lock change out - $245Adjusted supply air to move towards the room - $246Garage service door repair - $245 (no details of what repair)Bagged and hauled away wood from trees - $175 (on a property with no tree or wood around)Gas oven, gas leak adjusted and tightened line - $248In addition routinely charging me for grass cutting and snow cleaning when leases clearly say tenants are responsible.

. 🤪 A fun fact about yourself:Raised in the Philippines and Air Force veteran.

In the meantime, you can lease out or air bnb your primary residence.

Any good books on how to start an Air BnB portfolio?

The more people who open it and stand in front of it for air conditioning or thinking about giving the dog a piece of chicken the harder it runs, the shorter it's life.Your picky tenant will never be happy.

Can't figure that out, but I like it.Yep, this has come up before......I (And others) attribute it to the fact that VRBO attracts more older folks while AIR is the domain of millenials.

Has heat & air, finished walls, ceilings and floors.

That will hopefully remove the strain from your personal relationship and help keep an air of professionalism to the project.
