Again, I am trying to practice and run some numbers on potential investments and would like help since I am just starting to learn the games of real estate and underwriting deals.

I do not rely on AirDNA alone but as a starting point. 

Her story of success is inspiring and she has certainly sacrificed in building her current portfolio. 

I'm looking to start selling it to hosts.

I am new in the real estate industry and want to see if you have any tips for a new agent, also any events or recommendation to start meeting people and getting more connected to the Real Estate world.

They do build a solid and quality product.

Accounting and Bookkeeping: Since we plan to build a diverse portfolio, we want to ensure we’re setting up our accounting systems correctly from the start.

I am leaning towards demolishing the house and building a simple 3/2 but I have no market data in the city for new builds in recent years.

Would it be cheaper to build? 

I would start by going right to this guy and ask for him to pay what I can justify for the cost of this issue to me.
