Or heaven forbid I'm channeling someone here - buy the duplex and rent your own house for a while.Unless your current house is a killer rental scenario you'll almost always do better selling it and taking the money tax free.

In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

Since Airbnb remits at the state level when I see high numbers (or low) of what I am remitting for other OTAs/direct I then drill down to make sure listings are optimized on all channels.

All channels can work in real estate, though some pan out more often than others.

See the Robert Liu feed about them!

You can also listen in on Rob Abasolo's Youtube channel (Rob is one of the recent Bigger Pockets host) and you will learn a lot from him.If this group offers an opportunity to invest with them or their properties, then it may be worth the price.
