I am currently using Air bnb, Homeaway and recently used Craigslist in NYC. all the best, James

You would ideally want to buy in the downmarket for below market price (around this time of the year since its more of a buyers market) and then sell in spring when values are going to be increased and also have a sellers market (you could sell for above market price).

We've only ever owned in the cities we've lived -- Denver and Colorado Springs.

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $220,000

Cash invested: $5,000

Purchased a mostly turn-key property with a main house and an In-Law detached...

Additionally, moisture in the basement with possible fungi growth could mean mold, which can affect air quality and require professional remediation.

How can I optimize my situation to be at least break even or, even is short term like air bnbs andvacasas reay good?

Spring & Fall still book, but tend to be shorter stays than Summer & Winter. 

There are opportunities for short term rentals, flips, and buy/hold long term investments here in the Ocean Springs, GulfPort, Biloxi areas.

Here in Colorado Springs and Denver they are called "habitat for humanity" and they get huge slabs from folks renovating.

I am also considering selling the property next spring so this would be the last lease and I don't to play nice.
