I own a property in the Disney market and co-host/manage another 25 in the area.Disney I think is a good market if your goals are more aligned with traditional long term real estate goals, and a bad market if your goals are more immediate gratification and short term cash flow.The major benefit of the Disney market is that it's about the safest market you can find from a long-term perspective. 

Hey hosts! 

Hi, I'm considering buying a property and would like to connect with fellow hosts in the area.

Lastly many people have found certain linens off amazon to work great, but I think just about every host uses a different brand. 

I did the second cohort Open Spaces hosted and I can share my honest and very personal opinion about it.

I just checked, and while it does not appear that there are any upcoming events in central Illinois hosted by BP Members (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...), it does look like there are some big ones in other parts of the state. 

A couple of months ago, I ran across one of Dave Meyer's videos, and that led me to the podcast, and that led me to the Real Estate Rookies podcast, and a host of others who I won't mention, but were nevertheless valuable.

I host one every other month in Middletown at the Red Fox restaurant.

Anyhow, I feel like guest feedback, good and bad, only helps make one a better host!

I love hosting but some days it can be so frustrating.
