Combine that with his salary from dispatching, and he’ll take home a pretty penny this year.

That $390 combined with activity in the forums is perhaps the best investment an agent can make in their business.

If these are only two extra rooms with shared utilities/amenities (bathroom, kitchen, living room or some combination).

I want to combine them both into one campaign.

The two units combined make a nice profit over the mortgage.

Some people try to combine these things and I think that's where lots of investors run into trouble.   

I have heard that there are automated calendars that will combine both AirBnB and VRBO reservations, is that correct?  

@Dylan Vargas I am a really well traveled individual and I speak spanish so as a newbie investor the most frustrating thing for me was not finding the deals or getting information from people - it was the lack of mortgage and funding options available to an american who wants to buy in Costa Rica.Since I don't have an already existing real estate business or domestic properties I could sell or leverage to buy a property down there we had to use a combination of cash, private loan and a signature loan from Well's Fargo.Mortgages are technically possible to get from Soctiabank in Costa Rica but they require 50% down and can take a really long time to approve.

The unit is a diligently restored and very nice midcentury-modern 3/1 in a duplex with their own fenced yard and garage for about $2k.  

Airbnb HomeAway and TripAdvisor collectively make the biggest splashes combined.
