I would maybe even wager you are negative or break even just looking at cash flow.

Before we jump in, here’s an update on my inflation wager.

I'd wager most of this forum would be better off investing in equities then in real estate. 

I'd wager most of the agents, and lots on here, would consider that same logic and dismiss me. 

Research  The wage rates for the positions you want to hire, in your area.

So I’ll wager they get the listing agreement signed with you, then proceed to do as little work as possible for you, and you have a hard time getting in touch with them again for anything except trying to get you to keep lowering your price until the property eventually sells at a steep discount for the buyer.

I'd wager this thread will skew heavily into Real Estate (which makes sense!). 

I'm going to wager there'll be a correctionThere will likely be folks who bought in '22 that won't be in the black till '27 from a mark to market value. 

Yeah it's mostly sifting through lots of bad deals to find the good one.First is finding what a good deal looks like, then going out there and hunting.I'd wager I've spent thousands of hours on Loopnet, redfin, and Excel looking for deals with good returns. 

For pros/cons of booking.com I would say the following...Pros:-if you use guesty you can sync your airbnb info into your booking.com listing info to ease the set up process-there are more options to check off in the amenities portion of the listing set up, so you can really display the uniqueness of your property-I would wager 90% of self-managing str hosts only list on up to VRBO/Airbnb, which means there are not nearly as many options for people to choose between, which means more exposure for your listing-rumor has it that booking.com just invested a large sum of money into building out their services to provide more vacation home listings rather than hotels.
