there's people out there who will fund downpayments for equity in the deal or a preferred return. hit up local meetups and facebook groups and have some conversations

It's just a room and private bathroom and that unit KILLS on Booking but not really on Air or Homeaway/Vrbo.All of my 1-3 bedroom "whole unit" listings do good on Airbnb but not so much on Booking or Homeaway/Vrbo.And I have a 5 bedroom unit and it does nothing on Booking, but pretty good on Air and Homeaway/Vrbo.I think bigger units that facilitate large groups do well on Homeaway for some reason.

You have a great group of people to help you and build a successful portfolio. 

I think Brett has a Facebook group, let's keep in touch there.

I'd also recommend joining local real estate meetups or BiggerPockets groups to connect with agents, contractors, lenders etc.

Not to mention that as your unit count increases it insulates against impact of vacancy and other unforeseen expenses because each individual unit is mitigated across a larger grouping.

This is a screenshot from a private Facebook group for tax professionals.

I'll look up the group you mentioned.

I wanted to update that David was very prompt in answering my questions and helped improve my overall experience with Delta group.

For Freddie, i have not yet proven this with a transaction but saw this post by Matt in the Sub2 group of Paces.
