I do know that there are other sources to pick up knowledge.

The home has been doing okay Occupancy wise it is following the same occupancy as the average occupancy in the area so around 60-77%  but it is a new unit, this march it has increased to an 81% occupancy and April and May its picking up in occupancy fast so its a perfect time that I started this airbnb. 

How'd you pick that market?

Could I please PM you to pick your brain a bit more on investing in this area?

Nothing like cherry picking dates. 

So far, the lots I have picked are much higher priced than what would be acceptable in the program - still hunting!

And you are picking a location that totally disables the #1 reason why you should buy real estate.If your first deal goes bad, there will never be a second one.

If you pick up a few properties now, it will be MUCH easier to buy more sooner than later down the road.

Pick a good contractor and then manage them well! 

Try using the BiggerPockets "Market finder" and see where that brings you and then just talk with agents in the market you pick and narrow down these options by relying on market local contacts to guide you.
