Eager Real Estate Investor

Greetings, My name is Mark, and I live in Raleigh, NC. I am currently a home-owner, renting out a single bedroom on AirBnb. This covers my mortgage and utilities.

Both home ownership, and Airbnb, have given me a good taste of the world of real-estate and rentals. I am looking to pursue real investing full time, with a focus on short term rentals.

I have a decent amount of financial resources to get started.

I just finished reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and am in the middle of reading Brandon's The Book on Rental Property Investing.

Any getting-started advice from members, both locally, and remotely, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Mark

Hey @Mark Calivas congrats on getting into the world of real estate and AirBnb. It is a great time to be in the market. Places will be booming for the next couple of years due to pent up demand for travel. I'm happy to send a list of furnishings, software and the like that I use personally as well as some links to videos that might be helpful. Shoot me a message and I'll send it your way!
