AirBNB is a platform, a STR is the rental.

We have had hosts on the platform since then that are continuing to do well and add units.

From what I read in Bloomberg recently, investors gravitate towards platforms they trust on a personal level.I’ve found that blending personal touches with strategic growth means knowing your audience and what makes them tick.

But I have questions I'm hoping you'll entertain.I have a group of properties that I've held for five years and my low interest rate is resetting this month and I'm planning to do a cash out refi prior to a sale for a couple of reasons:1) Its easier to get a deal under contract if you don't have to make it contingent on a sale or if you don't want to risk paying capital gains on the sale if you can't find something suitable to buy.

The  own/landlord has not responded to inquiries or inquest for an application on real estate platform (e.g., Zillow, Hotpads).

Network with wholesalers, check public records, and use platforms like PropStream or DealMachine to find distressed properties.Be Cautious: Pay attention to permits, inspections, and local market trends—over-improving for the area could hurt your profits.Starting with a solid plan and realistic numbers will set you up for success.

PadSplit has developed a platform that aligns incentives among residents, property owners, and communities to make affordable housing possible for the private market.

Before listing it on an STR platform, I need to make some improvements to my current home.How can I maximize tax write-offs for these improvements?
