Virtus is a commercial team here that is VERY active. 

I’m looking to raise $160,000 to cover the purchase, renovation, and activation of this new Airbnb property.

I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

The CHS market is still fairly hot and active, although it has a slowed a little in recent months.

One is humid and one is dry, the types of activities to do are different in each city, take a look at where you would be the most happy as well if you're going to be living there!

It is not uncommon for syndicators to list properties they were passive LP investors in, and for sure to list properties they were/are also a part of GP, with limited/minimal active management roles.

If not, prepare to spend quite a bit furnishing it as in $20,000+ and probably way more3) Are you wanting to become more active in investing and hosting?

However, the tax treatment differs between short-term and long-term rentals:Short-Term Rentals (STRs): If you materially participate (work 100+ hours and more than anyone else on the property), you may be able to offset rental deductions against W-2 or other active income, offering greater tax benefits.Long-Term Rentals (LTRs): If your AGI exceeds $100K, your rental losses may be limited, unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS).If you plan to expand your rental portfolio, consider an LLC later for liability protection and easier management.

Sure, sorry I have not been active in these forums.

Also tweaking your pricing on VRBO and Airbnb so you are active and it pushes you higher in the search results.Tweaking the price that gets pushed to these platforms works as well.
