Hi everyone,I’m exploring the idea of purchasing a property in Big Bear Lake, CA to use as a short-term rental (Airbnb), and I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in the area.

We have frequently had this problem.

This is a perfect time to get your qualified intermediary involved if you don't already have one.

This creates a risk-free profit center for them, but no one here is a fan of the upfront fees.On the positive side, I believe their website is one of the best I’ve seen for a lender.

I just bought a new property and I was wondering if I was going to rent this out, what repairs should I make in terms of the roof and should I add an addition?

I’m in the process of searching for land in the Houston area to then build a 4-plex on it.The plan is to self-fund the purchase & construction, rent the units and cash out with a mortage.I like the idea of serving lower income families and therefore don’t shy away from section 8.This is the first time I do something like this, so I’m throwing it out there in hopes of hearing your thoughts and learning from your experience!

This is a great point!

I’m excited to join this community as a newbie in the real estate world!

What do you do differently in this situation?
