BP community,I've been running through the BP BRRRR calculator a ton for a few months and keep running into an issue with how the calculator is setup that I figured I'd finally get on a post and see if anyone else is having this complication and if there are any suggestions or workarounds you may recommend.

Hello my name is Dorian Rangel,I have followed biggerpockets since January and figured it was time for a quick introduction.

I'm not looking at airbnb as a quick fix alternative where right away I will start making 6 figure income, but im looking at it as something which can one day make me less dependent upon income from my present occupation only and perhaps become a primary source of income. 

I feel really weird but I have figured out ways of contacting Social Media friends since the stigma isn't as significant (strangely).

They have a maintenance guy that handles anything so our contact with the landlord is very limited.I would love to this property as my first investment property, however, I'm having trouble thinking about how I to be going about this.My initial thoughts are to just put out a feeler saying how much my wife and I love this area and that we eventually would like to hopefully buy some day and just politely ask that if they were ever thinking of it, to please keep us in mind.I'm having trouble figuring out how to communicate this message.

Hopefully one day I can spread my wisdom to some young buck too (except I'm in my 40s but hey just a figure of speech).

You might need to charge a different rent for units with 1 or 2 spots but you will need to determine if you can increase rents to charge for a space or figure out the most fair way to take a spot away from a tenant. if the city does not allow on street parking, I think it is on the landlord to ensure they have appropriate parking for the tenants.  

Of course, few people have friends who are willing to functionally give away 5-figure sums – there’s always a quid-pro-quo or payback of some sort, somehow, somewhere.Oh, but the IRS will never figure it out!

I'm a beginner Investor trying to figure out if Wholesaling is the best way to begin or buying me a house first with the first time home buyers program then rent a space in my place.

So, we are really just comparing profit options.It would take you 40 months to make up $131K with $3,200 in rental rate, just figuring the rental rate alone without expenses and mortgage payment.
