Airbnb Arbitrage in a solid market with low seasonality.

considered Gulf Shores or Myrtle Beach as areas I know, but we are at or past the mid-point of rental season and would not realize as much income from it, adding in cleaning, any needed licensing, possible local mgmt of it.What are first timer investors looking for in today's market?

You see expert and seasoned REI, hitting me up for advise on SEO and organic lead gen... 

I'm a newbie investor working with a seasoned real estate investor (my mentor) to do JV deals with to help me get started.

Seasoned investors like to tell their story and share both their successes and failures to those that will listen - if you're not there, you won't receive this valuable info. 

We should be in the peak season for rentals now and past years we tend to rent higher and faster in the summer than the winter.

Appreciation will obviously come either way, so there's nothing to worry about in those regardsOne other thing I would consider would be mid-term/seasonal rentals for 3-6 months.

We currently provide sheets, blankets, pillows, bath towels etc.

I am looking for others who are a getting into real estate investing or seasoned investors who could offer me any advice as I begin to start my journey to financial freedom!

When tax season comes you'll need to make sure there is a clear line between the two otherwise it will come back to bite you.
