Just be sure to check local regulations for Airbnbs.For long-term rentals, growing cities with strong job markets and affordable housing are ideal.

I probably dont have a good comparison as I only know/invest in my local market.

Quote from @Fernando NA: Hello everyone,I’m considering purchasing a piece of land near Divide, CO, to build a small off-grid log cabin and list it on Airbnb or similar platforms.For those of you who live in the area or have experience with this, I have a few questions:>Is it possible to list such a property on Airbnb given the local regulations?

1st, I’ve had the Trust package quoted by a local attorney for $1700 in the past.

Find local meetups, rub elbows with other investors, find out what they need, and then find a way to meet that need.For example, maybe an investor is growing fast and struggling to keep up with inspections.

I refinanced it into a  5% 30-year mortgage with a local bank as the seller would only carry the loan for a year.

@Jason Khoury I purchased my current residence, a duplex, from a local non-profit about 5 years ago.

Networking with local real estate investor groups can also help identify lenders active in your area.
