Have some real estate under my belt but looking into Short term rentals opposed to long term rentals.Wondering if there is a stand out book to read to gain understanding for Australian Short Term rental market/AIRBNB.Also if there is a specific group for Australians and short term rentals for Australian market/Australian tax system etc, do point me to that.Rod

@James Masotti I have an incredible robust Podio system that integrates with Basecamp and other project management software systems.

Perhaps some more than others, but each one brings a unique perspective.

I am confident that the 3 water heaters and 3 HVAC systems I put in place since Summer 2024 will give me some peace of mind in 2025 and beyond... for those properties.

One land speculation I bought 4 acres in sonoma County CA ( wine country) in 96 for 27k it was unbuildable at the time ( could not get a septic system on it) Well city grew to us The Graton Casino comes in right across the street and we sold a few years ago for over 2 mil to a land assemblage investment company.

Yes, because Private Money infers that you are in a negotiable deal where your project can be outside the box and you can negotiate unique terms with a private individual - that - or a big box lender with strict rules and guidelines. 

The system seem to be doing a positive thing throughout the years.

That's great to hear that you're graduating and you want to get into multifamily.I would start off in a commercial real estate firm, learn the systems, the sales/buying process, how to analyze deals etc...

I like TurboTenant for it's simplicity (and I'm pretty sure it's still free..)I have a client who is a smart-computer-guy not unlike yourself, he has a system for analyzing deals in bulk.

You'll likely find it easy to find people who will tell you what you want to hear, but you really need hard facts not speculation.But for some speculation, if you're talking about the Nantahala River or Little Tennessee, sure I think you might be able to do $22K/yr, but not much more, unless perhaps the places are uniquely styled.
