Hey everyone, I recently got a fantastic little mountain chalet in Rimforest, Lake Arrowhead CA We mostly got it as a personal get away and long term flip/sweat equity builder, but are interested in doing Airbnb.

Best of luck to you and I think real estate is a fantastic path for anyone with a strong will for a better life. 

The small things I am already learning being part of a Property Management team is fantastic - it's a different way of looking at things.

That is fantastic that your are even thinking along those lines.

Chauncey, like others have said, I think Agents can make fantastic investors.

I am trying to organize my real estate investing and I keep coming back to The Propety Mob's "Godfather CRM" It looks fantastic and the price seems reasonable.
