Post your copy or a link.

Not a tech hater but I’ve seen lots of ChatGPT copy that really sucks.

Just decide where YOU want to go and start researching those places. If you want to go, so do other people.

Quote from @Brian Court:

Thank you for the feedback. I see I'm way behind in this but what would you recommend as a better option. I own a business and currently live at my shop I was hoping to find a way for someone else to pay for me to get my own place and then of course grow from there. Suggestions?

Based on your goals the seemingly obvious path is to buy a duplex (or triplex or quad). Live in one half and rent out the other (STR or LTR). Don't think STR arbitrage is the right means to your ends.

Someone posted an article a few days ago, from Forbes I think, about Airbnb partnering with big apartments to specifically allow it. But you had to be a permanent resident and it was a limited # of days per year. I think you’ll be better off talking to mom and pop landlords with duplexes or SFRs.

Like Michael said most of the people hanging around here don’t like this strategy because it’s risky and you’re just creating a job for yourself.

Why do you want to do arbitrage?
  

We buy gray 

Love the Costco towels for like $7.99 or $8.99

Yes, and we've had a ton of people asking if our places are decorated this year.

You do not need tax advisors, lawyers, or business consultants to start investing. You need a property. Just learn how to evaluate a deal (there are literally hundreds of thread on the forum about this) and go buy something! You'll learn so much more by doing than by studying theory.

The interior designers I work with all use white glove delivery services that receive everything they order then deliver it all on the same day.

I slept in a wine barrel at a winery in Portugal and it was incredible.
