Are you aware of any online forums for people who are severely allergic to animals and who want to find a vacation rental that is less likely to trigger their allergic reactions? 

What're some major issues people have seen with this process?

Lots of people think that STR is just instant cashflow, but it is fundamentally a different business model.

Was there around a year ago and saw all the infrastructure, the World Cup, the nice people, great place to live.You're living in a good market.Gino

If not, how do people typically get started with their first deal?

I'm fairly well plugged in and connected to other well regarded people in the industry.

Finding good people to work for you is a problem whether it is running your own business or having rentals. 

Can someone sent me in the right direction so I can start my research about this topic.Best regards,Leon Korpel Yes you can invest in the US but be aware all those no money down books etc and buy real estate with other peoples money are books to sell a dream.

It truly is a treasure trove of information.Anyhow, I am posting because I want to connect with people who have successfully done STR for their first investment.

So many people out there ,  that have online courses.
