The link to the blog seems to have good posts that go beyond the basics of hosting. i'll research on that.I don't have any questions about the airbnb side, like what linens to buy or accepting guests since i've had plenty of experience managing that side.My main areas are: traditional and non traditional financingmethods of acquisition (master leasing vs owning)scaling management systems (hiring people to answer questions, clean)managing a remote property in a different city (hiring local as needed property manager)and problems that come up from managing multi properties that don't occur with a single property

The city assessment has nothing to do with the fair market value of the building nor the financing aspect.

That is my biggest struggle at the moment for this property. 

I would just call the city. 

Also interested in what realistic options there are for acquiring properties with little money, being as young as I am upfront costs are my biggest setback.

I am not saying that you can't make money here in the city and surrounded areas but rather that you are climbing a hill and have lot's of competition and even then you're money doesn't get a 1/3 of what you can get in other areas.

I have a single city lot that has been occupied by a mobile home for ten years.

Hi BP - wanted to understand A1 and B2 differences with city of Austin or any other city. 

Do you have recommendations on which cities/suburbs in Ft.

@William Butler  I'm a local agent,  and I also own rental properties in Memphis so you can say I'm invested in the city.
