Airbnb Arbitrage Strategy

[Phu Tran]

Hey all,

First time posting here. Wondering if anyone has experiences with doing air bnb arbitrage? Saw courses through social media that looked appealing for mentorship however I cannot say if they are actually legitimate. Anyone has experiences with a program like what Calvin Tran is offering?

With the market the way it is and living in the Boston area, getting a long term investment property that actually cash flows is not possible. I understand that there are other benefits with real estate investing taxes, appreciation etc. 

I have the finances to put down a down payment of 25%-30% to acquire a multi family. Everything around where I am goes around $1 million.

I’m stuck and not sure what’s the best use of my capital is in today’s market. Hence the thought of maybe doing something unconventional like Airbnb arbitrage where I don’t necessary need to deploy so much of my existing capital to get cash flow.

should I stick with the traditional methods and just keep analyzing deals and see if I can eventuallly find a  rental property that will work?  Or force myself to think  differently in today’s market?

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks.

@Phu Tran

can you start with a house hack?  house hacking is about building equity, not about cash flowing.  i wouldn't rule it out unless you've really, really searched exhaustively.  going on Zillow and getting frustrated doesn't count.  and as @Jonathan Greene noted you can draw a circle around where you need to be and look everywhere in the circle.  the harder it is to do, the fewer people will do it.
