I have several things (non-real estate) going on and will focus on this part later in Sept.

So if we have a severe downturn, you could find yourself making less than you expected or taking losses that you didn’t expect.4)Streitwise:  I think they now have more than just 1  property.

I like the idea of short-term rentals, and I am wondering if I would be better off buying several smaller, less expensive units, or one larger, nicer unit.Those of you with experience in the Airbnb Marketplace, what are your thoughts?

I have analyzed several multi family turn key properties here in the Durham area and most do not meet my criteria for a good investment.

I've been wholesaling for several years.

I have found several properties with decent equity that have already gotten the notice for Trustee sale.

@Andrew Major my primary focus at this time is note investing and I invest in several states across the nation
