I've been doing some studying on short sales but still working to understand it better.

BP Rookie podcast has a pretty good content on Airbnb, however mostly success stories.

This deal, i used my first successful buy and hold property and pulled a HELOC to secure financing and reserves.

@Ella Marie, I can't speak on behalf of your market, but in my respective market, competition is tough, and the successful fix-and-flip vendors are often full-time operating businesses.

My target tenants are travel nurses and other traveling professionals with the occasional vacationer.I’m curious to know if any of you had success in the area and what have been your keys to success and downfalls.

I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with or can recommend paid mentorship programs or coaches for small multifamily unit investing (2-4 units).In my research, I’ve found that most mentorship programs or resources I come across are geared toward large syndication apartment building purchases or other types of investments, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, single-family homes, Section 8, or fix-and-flip projects.

Quote from @Joy Daniels: I manage short-term rentals in the Sarasota area, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to boost occupancy rates year-round.From your experience, what marketing strategies have had the biggest impact on keeping your properties booked?

For your first question: you can definitely be successful either way.

It simply depends on your time frame, when you want to actually begin renting the property out short term, and what the loan terms are.

If you do it right, you can be very successful.
