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

They highlight the difference between the average home cost and the average home value suggested by the price of large institutional companies such as American Homes 4 Rent and Invitation Homes Inc.I suspect this is nonsense (especially as according to google their price to book ratio is positive). 

AirDNA only know whether a night is open or booked. 

That is comforting, if I'm an investor.I still feel good about investing in Colorado locations if the area has a law on the books actively allowing Airbnb.

Quote from @Jacob Hrip: I have read this one years ago and it is a great book by a very successful guy in the space!

@Zach Howard I am working on a how-to book on Creative Financing now (I am the author of BP's book on Mid Term Rentals) because when I was teaching myself I was frustrated at the lack of clear instruction.

I've read many of the BiggerPockets books like - House Hacking- Flipping- Estimating Rehabs- Multifamily Millionaire Book I and II- How to Invest in Real Estate with Low or No Money Down- Investing from a Distanceand even some outside of themand have been wanting to do something in Real Estate for awhile.

What other books does anyone suggest?

I reached out to my investment advisor who pointed me to a couple books that opened my mind to the other possibilities.

My guess is they have low level of book keeping sophistication.
