On finding help, I’d  keep an eye out for the CPAs active in Biggerpockets with proven real estate experience, or search for phrases like “short-term rental CPA,” “Airbnb tax CPA,” or “real estate investor CPA”and then filter by folks who talk specifically about STR material participation and cost seg in their content. 

If not, keep an eye out for a single-family with a layout that’s easy to convert into two units.

So besides expired listings, the numbers are very in line with what we saw last offseason.Pendings, which tracks buyer activity, was the stat I was keeping a close eye on the last couple months since rates have dropped, but it really hasn't developed into a trend.

There are many moving parts from local laws, construction modifications and likely higher risk of liability if nothing else based on increasing the traffic with staff, medically fragile patients and family members. 

My advice is to get into the STR world by finding something fairly close to you that you can keep an eye on and manage yourself.

I’d recommend keeping an eye on neighborhoods near universities or hospitals rental demand stays solid there year-round.

I'm certainly willing to travel and keep an eye on things but my vision is to find a market I can play in and build my network there.

Those books are definitely some eye openers!

Think abundance,Shoot me a DM if you want a second set of eyes on it.

If AI automates semi driving, eye surgery, flipping hamburgers, next Beatles song, next Louis L’Amor Sackett book, that will be the same as automating picking cotton, cutting hay for horses, splitting firewood for locomotives, or filling street lamps with whale oil every night, etc.
