My only experience in that part of the world though is a 2 week holiday in Guatemala.

Last year I was in Miami on holiday and thought I might try my hand at real estate.

I've only been around them for 4 years, so that does add up, and I do know some buyers who have bought 4-6 at a time, but then relaxed for a bit after that.

They aren’t sending out postcards and sponsoring lunches in Holiday Inn ballrooms to get large groups of people to invest.  

This way you could mark times (such as the holidays) where you don’t want a tenant in the property.When it comes to renting out a room in your house, whether that’s through a platform like Airbnb or a long term tenant, it’s important that you are fully aware of the legal implications and abide by local and state laws.House Hack a DuplexHouse hacking a duplex (or triplex or even a fourplex) is a popular option.

@Brandon Johnson Any holiday sale at Lowes or Home Depot is a good bet. 

First rental propertyI like the personal goal of visiting a new country thrown in there - can't be ALL business ALL of the time, need some time to relax and enjoy life as well!

I posted my single family rental on Zillow, I know it is harder to get tenants in the Winter around the Holiday time, but is that a reason to lower your monthly rent price?

I spend my winters in Colorado and want a get away spot I can go on weekends to relax be close to nature.

;) Gotta relax a little too, right?
