Post: Social Media for Airbnb property

Social media is key! My wife and I bought a cabin in Vermont back in the fall and have been building up a presence on Instagram since then - we've been showing our renovation progress, new additions to the cabin, etc. We utilize both the posts and the stories. We also created a Facebook page which we'll use for advertising (we also will be running sponsored Instagram posts) and are in the process of building a website that will redirect traffic to our Airbnb page. We have little branding elements that we've incorporated throughout our channels too.
We just listed our cabin on Airbnb two days ago and have already been super successful!
I think it helps that this is what my wife and I do for a living as well - she does social media strategy and I'm a photographer (and learning the strategy ropes!).

Hey everyone!
My wife and I are looking to buy a primary residence in New England and a vacation property in Joshua Tree at same time. Should we work with 2 separate mortgage brokers in each state or can we work with a local one for both properties? (local being the MA/RI area)
Thanks!

Hey everyone!
My wife and I are looking for a real estate agent for the Joshua Tree area for our first purchase. We’re looking to buy either a parcel of land, or a place to fix up and rent out as a vacation rental.
Also any leads on a good mortgage broker would be super helpful too!
Thanks!

@John Lee Wow thank you so much for the reply! This was all super helpful. :)
That's really crazy about JT - we've been going there for a few years but never seriously thought about buying a place there until recently!

Hey everyone! I'm new around here :)
My wife and I are getting ready to make our first purchase but we're torn between our two ideas... but also wondering if it's possible to do both in the same year.
We're moving up to New England from NYC this summer and have been weighing our town/city options. We love the metro-west area but it's pretty unaffordable for us right now, so we think we have landed on Nashua, NH. It seems like the rental market is strong there and there's a decent amount going on. Originally we were just going to buy a single-family for ourselves, but when we saw the options for multi-families in Nashua we realized that that's definitely an option.
On the other hand... we're both in love with Joshua Tree. We've spent a lot of time out there (and lived in LA for a year) and I think the market for vacation rentals there is really strong. Our plan there would be to buy some land and buy a modular/prefab home.
So our big question here is which do we start with and is it possible to do both in the same year (ie. would a lender for the second property be turned off by the first purchase this year)?
Thank you all!
