I’m living in Austin, Texas, and I’m new to real estate investing.

Hey Alon,I don't think there is a map on Columbus here on BP but I can give you some information about the neighborhoods here and some hot spots.

Making a decent profit has everything to do with the right market...each and every one is different in guest avatar, ADR, and yearly revenue...the property itself, and the host and how knowledgeable they are on the STR industry right now because that is also an ever-changing landscape!  

I purchased my first rental property and it needed a complete renovation.

Alright y'all, I've listened to podcasts and read books for long enough.

I own a couple of mixed use buildings in Western Wisconsin and would be happy to chat about my experience. 

Our goal is to buy and hold for long-term investment.

Quote from @Mei Zhu: Transunion Smart Move has an online application and screening that I recommend.Whichever you decide, make sure they provide a full credit report, not just a score.

I'm particularly passionate about STR and LTR.Outside of real estate, I enjoy hiking, reading and soccer.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I would cut my loses (and potential future loses) and sell.
