These practical suggestions from the trenches aren't usually found in books.

I know I’m getting the newbie platform SEO boost, but still - Superhost is easily achievable at the first review period if you make a fairly average effort, and it’s not actually that hard to separate yourself from the pack on Airbnb if you just do everything you need to be doing to run a good businessGood luck hunting to everyone!

HOA's should not be able to ban anyone in az from offering Airbnb, Vrbo since the new law passed:Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona has signed SB 1350, a law which prohibits cities and municipalities from banning the listing and use of short-term rentals like Airbnb, HomeAway, and others.I also have a lawyer friend who practices HOA law and confirmed the above, but you know HOAs, they think they make all the rules...

There have been times I've been crushed at work - but I'll take a 5 min break, and look up someone I've only talked to a couple of times and go over and visit with them - ie. practicing networking skills.

Here's mine...Start -> Build mailing list of potential leads  -> while waiting for phone to ring, build buyers list -> While waiting for phone to ring with a trully motivated seller, continue building mailing list and keep sending weekly for at least 5 weeks -> Go to a local REIA meeting and network -> Go look @ all potential houses, going through the motions is good practice and makes you kinda feel like your in the game ->Have contracts, for when the big day finally arrives ->Continue to read and educate yourself, while waited for phone to ring ->Learn your market, hook up with a realtor that will give you comps on potential deals (more than one is better, don't want to burn anybody out so early in the game) ->Finally time to negotiate your first deal - good thing you did all that work before, you actually should feel like you kinda know what your doing. 

- In addition to having a personal 6 month emergency fund, I plan on having a 6 mo fund for my dental practice and each property.  

And I can't exactly practice the BRRRR locally because, well, I would be wasting my money on a deal that doesn't cash flow the way that I want it to.Where does that leave me?
