Please advise as this is a new topic to my associate and I.

Yo I read everything you guys had to say and I’m learning a lot seems like 2 sides to this topic to me.

ARV = (Property’s Purchase Price) + (Value of Renovations)You can most accurately calculate this when you understand how how much value each rehab item will bring THE BOOK ON ESTIMATING REHAB COSTS by Bigger Pockets will help with figuring that out or you can checkout an article they already published going pretty in depth on the topic for quickly analyzing ARV's when searching for a deal.

The topic of AirBnB in Providence has been brought up in previous discussions but I wanted to revisit and see if anyone had comparison numbers between their long term rental and AirBnB revenue.

Connecting with others doing what you want to do and reading books on the topic is all you really need.
