If you don't mind paying a monthly fee , you can buy an investor carrot website. look up investor carrot in google and see the kind of sites and programs that they have.

However, I think you have a great idea for using a Breckenridge are property as a home share carrot for international travelers like yourself.

I put everything on my tenant that occurred because of their negligence...clogged pipes because tampons, garbage disposal because of carrots, etc...

There may be some legit scenarios where this request makes sense, but there are way more that raise big concerns.... these tenants are often dangling the "carrot" to bribe you to look past something.....So I wouldn't "auto decline", but I would tread lightly and screen them even harder than usual.

sorry, I think we are getting off track, my advise to the first timers would be; its alright to use your home equity ( get a line of credit ), but spend as little of your cash as possible, you can use that as a carrot with the lenders, this will allow you to do more deals and really stretch out your dollars, you never know when it comes in handy to have the cash !!

You may want to try a carrot (cash for keys - make sure to follow best practices so you don't get stiffed), instead of stick. 

I just set up a carrot website.

It is not as easy as it sounds, but companies like Investor Carrot make decent generic SEO real estate investing sites that you can optimize and custamize yourself and then send traffic to it.Originally posted by @Vernon Trice III:Originally posted by @Tyler Kennedy:@Vernon Trice III There are many ways, but Brandon Turner actually wrote a blog post about this that I saw recently: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
