If they can do it and be a resource for you, there is no reason you can't. 

As a realtor who works closely with both short-term and long-term rental investors, I’d love to be a resource for you while you’re in town.Having spent my entire life here, I know the city inside and out (Indianapolis) , from neighborhoods with strong rental demand to up-and-coming areas that offer excellent long-term growth potential. 

If house hacking, allocate expenses between personal and rental use to claim deductions only for the rental portion.

Happy to send over some resources regarding the Columbus Ohio market and why it's a great market to invest into!

We worked him through the process, brought him a contractor, and gave him all the resources along with giving him tips on layout and all.

One of the best resources I’ve spotted for honest property management feedback-beyond scanning Google-is checking local Facebook investor groups and seeing who people recommend.Anyway, Ethan, since you’ve done a bunch of data crunching: have you or anyone else revisited these numbers more recently, and if so, how have shifting mortgage rates or local employment trends changed your approach?

Which one would also have the resources to challenge Airbnb if Airbnb threatens to delete their brand due to violation of their TOS? 

Happy to be a resource if we can.cheers!

MF with many garages to convert to ADUs, parcel splits, full on development, coop/tic with the resources to handle financing challenges, etc.To raise money in this market as a newby will also be challenging unless you can get it from friends and family.

Are there any good resources online to be able to get an idea of average monthly/yearly expenses like utilities, etc. for a given zip or city?
