I've exchanged our place with another host by on a 1-1 bases.Host share seems to have an interesting concept of exchange available nights but within 5 days.....so what typically is not rented.

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

Just responding to your negative comment.  

I do not care what the source of the return is  Historically the highest return is via a value add and appreciation and is more so recently due to the recent rate increase versus earlier this century (before 2022).However, most new RE investors cannot handle extended periods of large negative cash flow.

I wanted to get my feet wet in the commercial space as I look to grow my portfolio and negate risk with more units.

If I had grasped this concept five years ago, my achievements today would be even greater. 

In some cases, after crunching the numbers, the profit margin was so slim—or even negative—that I had to pass on some promising opportunities.Here’s my situation: I currently own two properties—a primary residence and a rental property—both of which have substantial equity.
