While I've done some research on the topic, I feel that hearing from those with firsthand experience could provide invaluable insights.From what I gather, co-hosting involves assisting Airbnb hosts with various tasks, ranging from guest communication and check-ins to cleaning and maintenance.

It's 2 properties, single family homes, in the SF Bay Area.Sharing some details that might help inform the decision, let me know if anything else would be relevant.One property fully paid off, generates between $20-30k in profit after expenses (property taxes, hoa, insurance, etc).The other property is our current primary residency and would operate at a loss of about $10k/year.I plan to travel back to the US at least once a year, could that be a deductible expense with an LLC? 

Thank you for your advice, the only way I will gain experience is going through it.

My experience does not agree with yours as I do not see Ohio everywhere online and I invest in the Midwest. 

Hello all,I have previous experience with real estate, but first timer with both raw land and tax auctions in Texas and I'm realizing now just how little I know when it comes to land.

A game of wack-a-mole.The more stable areas (a solid B vs a C-) experience for more engagement by the residents to want to stay in their home since they are reasonably hard to find and qualify for.Hope you are doing well my friend!

As both a Realtor with over 32 years experience (and Broker in Charge and owner of my firm), and an Investor- I'll tell you that you will have MUCH more exposure in the market using a Realtor (we pay a LOT of money for marketing, Google SEO, and the MLS is linked to Realtor.com, Homes.com, Redfin, Trulia, Zillow (which we hate due to the massive inaccuracies), and to every other Brokerage's websites also in the area through Broker Reciprocity.

While demand has softened slightly this year, (due to cruising or overseas travel) the travel industry is confident that next year will be particularly strong due to the opening of Universal’s Epic Universe theme park and new Disney attractions.

Could anyone with more current experience, esp in San Diego area, jump in and help?
