Hey everyone,I'm looking to get started in the short-term rental business and could really use some advice.

Start with small goals, and soon enough, you'll find yourself turning away business.

Network in person, see if they have a publication where you can post your deals and what you are looking for, and if there is a larger annual conference for investors locally consider getting a vendor table to talk about your business and what you are looking for.

Although I don’t have experience in house flipping yet, I’ve successfully run a construction business back home.Due to the war, my family and I had to search for a new place to live.

as one who grew up in the land business brokering land in Napa Sonoma Lake Mendo and humbolt counties..

If they are too busy or too lazy to answer a call or send a short email, what else are they too busy for?

Line Item Fee Collected Rents 10% of All Collected Rents New Tenant Search & Onboarding $500 Business Hour Service Calls $80/hour + Materials Cost + Tax After Hour Service Calls $110/hour + Materials Cost + Tax HVAC Cleaning & InspectionGutter CleaningSpring/Fall Exterior CleanupSeasonal Mowing & Weed TrimmingSeasonal Snow PlowingGeneral Contractor Vendor Cost + 10% Oversight Fee

But I'll mind my own business now. 

PM me if you want the contact (they deserve some business for their great support, but if I do not close I have no need for the insurance).Good luck Thanks Dan,  where in CA is that property at very good price for what your describing !!!

So if you are in a 30% combined tax bracket you get an additional $3K due to write offs.If it is a rental, you can write off the business expenses and the depreciation on the non land valuation.
