We are thinking of doing Air BnB to rent it out and I have looked at what's out there on Air BnB, HomeAway, FlipKey and other sites to see if similar homes are rented out yet for summer 2018 and it appears they are all still not rented out yet.

@Grace Santos what you can do, although tedious, is gather AirDNA comparables and then use google maps street view to see what the actual address is and send the address, the Air BnB listing, and the AirDNA printout for those specific comparables to the appraiser. 

In reality what happens is you end up paying more for a "clean house" but because you are doing a flip people want new mechanicals (central air, 200 amp electric, pvc plumbing stack) so you end up doing a full gut or larger rehab then simple cosmetics and now your returns have shrunk.In your situation for your first investment I would be ok with a smaller return because of the experience gained, but for the next look for larger profit.

I bought after reno but added brand new 5 Ton AC unit, dual sets of washer and dryers.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Tough sledding at first, until I took a leap of faith and invested $25,000 into the property to make it more appealing to guests on air bnb and vrbo.

I have read from other that if you are near the ocean the salt air can affect the lock.

As cash is low to even invest in another property in Canada - would courses be a viable option to learn Air BNB arbitrage or STR to potentially earn side income  ? 

If she has a buyer in house or does dual agency , not bad for a weeks work .
