Hello I'm Blair.

I'm just now signing up, but I've read a lot of bigger pockets materials over the years and perused the site briefly. 

Last January I quit my job to work full time in real estate investment. I've been buying and managing property with my partner for almost 4 years now, all vacation rentals up to this point. I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say I am a community expert in Airbnb, Homeaway,VRBO, Flipkey, etc. I'm happy to give suggestions and advice in those areas. 

On the other hand I did my first full renovation this year which was a HUGE learning opportunity. I'm here really to learn more about that, and also long term rentals and best landlording practices - two things I've not had experience in. I am open to learn about all kinds of other things though!

Hi Blair! I was under the impression that vacation rentals weren't allowed (or something like that) in Vegas. I am very interested in learning more about that.  

Are you able to keep them pretty full? Are they all within walking distance of the strip? If not, what part of town do you think is best for vacation rentals? Do you think you net more doing the home as a vacation rental vs just renting it normally?
