I recommend people doing a side gig on what they specialize in.I am an accountant and when I worked within large public accounting firms, I had a side gig of bieng an accountant.I had a salary with my employer so regardless of how much more hours I put with them, i would be paid the same. 

Of you can relocate and house hack, I highly recommend that so you give up less cash upfront.Good job not spending your stack on some bad *** pick em up truck or other nonsense young people would otherwise spend it on! 

I get a lot of people who start off with the idea of JC becuase of how close it is to NYC. 

Having two people paying rent, but only one living in the house is not ideal unless both understand clearly they are liable. 

The water test results came back good so at this point in time we didn't do the repair.We were nervous in talking with tenants about this issue and thought it might detour people from wanting to rent the property. 

I have tons of connections with people who do marketing all over the city I live in.

There are always people entering the market and leaving the market all the while the many investors that do this for a living will stay and grab deals.

It takes time to meet people and get deals.

I'm sure many people on here have spoken about this, but I just wanted to bring this discussion back as it is a part of my job that I enjoy and see benefit to others from it.

One thing I'm trying to do is to test different cover photos to see which ones draw a greater % of click-thrus (which seems like a reasonable thing to test).I'd like to be able to view the Airbnb stats to see, for each cover photo I test, things like what % of people click through on it.
