People like it because you don’t need to own property—just lease it, list it on Airbnb, and make money if guests pay more than your rent and expenses.The catch?

I have not done it myself, but have helped some people with financing.

Gotcha that makes a lot of sense. 

The average age that people stop renting and buy their first home in the United States in 2024 is now 38 years old in Washington D.C.

I would like to pull out equity from the homes to build either a house on each or an ADU (they are zoned multi-family) depending what makes the most sense on returns and what is feasible.

Buy not many people can do this and it requires very good book keeping.

Learn what people are doing right now in this difficult market and find a way to replicate their success.A lot of people say they are actively investing.

I still wouldn't give people an all-access closet. 

I am a voice of common sense and help them come up with the best way to manage STRs.

This is the max it seems most "A" lenders will loan too, I might get 50% from a credit union but that still probably not help in the short term.How do people keep going?
