Airbnb Arbitrage Strategy

Phu Tran
Posted

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.

    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.
