Hey BP, I’m new to investing and I thought I’d look into investing in Airbnb rentals. I live in Portland and I’m a realtor and the market is just way to expensive out here. 
I was thinking about Florida or AZ. Anyone have any great location tips? Looking for something furnished between $250,000 to $385,000

Read a book called Short Term Rental Long Term Wealth. Also, it's not an "airbnb" that makes you sound like a millennial. It's a "Vacation Rental" VRBO and direct bookings are leaving airbnb behind with the new generation that are sick of airbnb walking all over us.

    What a shame there is so much focus on the negativity. There are a few very knowledgeable folks that have kicked out some great advice. Let's all focus on that and move on. Thank you to those of you who are focusing on helping others and inspiring great things in the world. Keep it up & thank you.

    @Jonathan Vese You might consider looking at Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach.  We have lots of furnished properties in the price range you mentioned that cashflow quite well.  Let me know if you'd like to see any examples.

    Question - I'm noticing a little frustration between the distinction of STR vs Abnb.. Could someone clarify the exact difference for me?

    I have partnered up with a friend and we have been going through the AirBnB course, but we are now approaching homeowners to partner up with us & I want to make sure that I'm using the correct termonoligy as well as process as I contact them. Any advice/guidance is greatly appreciated.

    I saw where you sent me a message that I didn't have time to read.

    I assume it is an apology for your behavior.

    I do accept your apology.

    @Tuli Green as with everything real estate, it varies. Our best cabin (our first one) does roughly $30k/year Net and CoC is about 90%. Our others range from $10k annual net although the way to "too new to rate" as we've had 3 new purchases in the last 5 months, so they're just getting started and don't have the momentum yet that the first one does. Coc can be anywhere from 20-60% estimated.

    Ignoring the OP, this reply is for you, Tonya.....

    AIRBnB is one platform that vacation rental property owners use to list their properties on. VRBO is another and the original (13 yrs older). Kinda like Chevy and Ford are both automobiles.......These are the 2 main platforms (for now).

    There are some newer platforms: Booking.com, Trip Advisor, and I think a couple others. They all have their pros and cons. My perception is that most hosts here on BP prefer VRBO for a variety of reasons.....that's probably good for another thread.

    @Bruce Woodruff -That's what I thought. Interesting to know that VRBO has been around (13 yrs), it's crazy to fathem that that many years have come and gone. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
