The costs can be extremely high, but in mid to high end areas, you could come out well ahead in the end.

While looking, I have found some houses that seem legit, but It’s hard to believe the extreme low prices they have.

I found all of them to be extremely useful, but you will always have to make adjustments to their logic, every property is different and offers different amenities.Beyond Pricing connects with Airbnb and HomeAway/VRBO, Wheelhouse only connects with Airbnb, but if you use a channel manager you can push your Airbnb rates and minimum stays to Homeaway and save yourself the commission.I currently use wheelhouse, simply due to cost.

Both Wholesaling and Real Estate Sales are extremely difficult to achieve success in and both will require your full dedication and effort.

@Blake Harris If you co-borrowed with someone that lived in KC that you knew would occupy within 60 days and then stay for one year following those 60 days, then you could achieve it, as they would satisfy the occupancy requirements, so if you wanted to do something like team up with someone that needed to house hack to drop their monthly expenses for a year in order to afford to save up for a purchase, that might be aligned goals.

We had and extremely busy winter in the Detroit market while it produced some of the best numbers we’ve seen in over a decade.

@Shawn Ackerman I have extremely high utilization.

I set reasonable expectations in writing about certain behaviors I wanted modified and messes I wanted cleaned up outside. 34k in on-time rent later, I'm satisfied with my decision.
