Not really using leverage; I'm okay with small potatoes based on my age, nest egg, and risk/reward profile.

alooooot of reading. changing your profile pic might not hurt. not about judging you, about people taking you serious. there will be plenty of time to turn up after you count all that moneyyyyy, lol.

As my profile reads, I live in the SF bay area in Oakland.

But make sure you post the review on their profile clearly and formally NOT recommend them to other hosts, and share the photo to airbnb in the private note so that it gets filed.We, the hosts, have the power, it's our properties.

Unfortunately, sourcing these opportunities is tough because they probably never hit Loopnet/MLS and would require lots of active investment in relationship building in specific markets.ConclusionThe risk profile and projected returns of these large syndication deals makes them the most attractive option for a newbie investor in my position.Add in a potential looming economic downturn and uncertainty of where we are in the current real estate market cycle and that only increases my anxiety as a newbie investor trying to get into the market.

Then take a wider look at 5 neighboring MSA's with similar housing/demographic profiles and begin taking notes on high-end neighborhoods/developers.

I saw on your profile that you have a vacation rental in Rehobeth/Lewes.

There are plenty of people who can profile a building, make a deal, rehab it, refinance it, rent it and sell it in six months for a $50,000 profit.

Your profile seems to show you live in another country.

I like how you say you want to be a billionaire in real estate on your profile , me too but also in music and childrens entertainent which I'm a expert at and is a biliion dollar industry.
