I have a property listed with a woman, who was the trust beneficiary to her dad's home.

For me below is a short list, but bear in mind that my specific STR investment model is 'vacation house for free'. 

I'd say the best approach to buying good is (in order from best deal to worst deal):1: driving for dollars, sending flyers, cold calling leads - basically what wholesalers do.2: reaching out to tax lien lists/foreclosure lists.  

You need to tell them you have no experience in this area and will be using their listing as a way to learn.

Hey Steve, I’ve been co-hosting for 26+ listings and find that Airdna is pretty close with its revenue projections.

I know that most people who OWN a property and put it on airbnb claim the income on Schedule E ("passive income"), which avoids having to pay the 15.3% self-employment tax.I'm wondering if those who are practicing rental arbitrage by renting the place that they list on airbnb also claim the income on Schedule E, or if you claim it on Schedule C bc you don't own the place that you're listing on airbnb.Whether you own or rent the property that you list on Airbnb, the activities are the same: acquiring the property, furnishing it, activating utilities, listing it on Airbnb, hiring cleaning services, etc, etc.

You can either start a small campaign after choosing a tight target area (geographical) and list (demographics).
