It seems to work well if you're close to a base that hosts a lengthy training program (for example, a year-long pilot training program or a year-long nuclear power training school). 

Listen to the following podcast hosts (this is in no particular order, all are good in their own way):- Frank Rolfe (MHP and RV)- Jefferson Lilly- Kevin Bupp- Glenn Esterson- Ryan Narus- Ferd Niemann- Andrew Keel- Abraham Anderson- Tyson CrossBetween all of those you will find more information on other books, courses, YouTube, etc.

Out of state cash flows more than CA typically, but that comes with another host of potential challenges.

It feels like an incredible claim, but a host of economic indicators are flashing bright green.

Below, I am going to briefly provide the experience that my girlfriend and I have had so far hosting out house on Airbnb.

Time will tell of course (it's a new build so no possibility of rental history), but there is definitely demand for large properties that can host big groups.  

Hosted by great people and I always learn a ton when I attend.

Overall I personally like the property and the land but am I allowing that to cloud my judgement on the numbers? 

Hopefully your brokerage is connecting you with one or more mentors - I know a lot of the more experienced agents have more leads than time, so maybe you can work out something to follow up on those leads in exchange for paying a referral % and/or host open (vacant) houses to get people to add to your CRM.For North Jersey clubs, check out BiggerPockets events, Facebook groups, Meetup events, and google for North Jersey / North New Jersey REIA.
