Quote from @Rene Hosman:
Congrats @Keegan Rosett I'd love to hear more about the Airbnb Brazil opportunity and how that's gone for you! I've certainly met US investors who have invested in Canada and MX but Brazil is a first.
I'd also recommend following @GarrettBrownRE on instagram and watching his BiggerStays youtube series if STRs in the states is something you're interested in.
You mentioned getting pre-approved for your first US property but you didn't say what strategy you plan to use for
Hey Rene,
I will keep you posted and provide updates as we make the journey. Thanks for the resource for Garrett on Instagram. I will follow him. My passion was always healthcare growing up so I’d love to find people in the mid-term rental space to help out as a starter and grow from there. I’d love to connect and get any advice you have. Have a blessed day.
Best,
Keegan

Quote from @Bryce Jamison:
I agree about wanted to invest locally. Ignoring the risk of investing in Brazil, I like to be able to personally visit my properties. If I wanted property I never saw, or at least could see, I'd invest in REITs. What you're describing kind of sounds like a REIT.
If you're nervous to start an Airbnb on your own you can check out "Short-Term Rental Long-Term Wealth" by Avery Carl. It's a playbook for how to get started. Rob Abasolo is also a good resource.
I'd also wait until my rental business had consistently produced income for several months and I had a big , beefy emergency fund before left my W2 job.
Hey Bryce,
Thanks for the advice. I will check out the resources you provided. Do you somewhere I can follow you and stay connected? Have a great day.

Hey everyone,
I recently made the leap from a career path in medicine to real estate investing. My first opportunity came through a former colleague and mentor who co-owns a franchised Airbnb company based in Brazil.
It might sound unconventional—especially for someone with zero experience in real estate—but I saw it as the perfect entry point. This investment gives me the chance to learn through mentorship, gain exposure to the international short-term rental market, and contribute value from my background in sales by helping expand the business into the U.S.
Of course, there are risks and caveats with international investing, but I’m excited to be involved and eager to learn how returns play out. I’d love to connect with anyone who has experience in international real estate or franchised Airbnb models.
This first step is also motivating me to start investing locally here in the U.S.—I’m currently working on getting pre-approved for my first mortgage. Looking forward to learning from you all and seeing what kind of opportunities we can build together.

Hey everyone! My name is Keegan Rosett, and I’m excited to be joining the BiggerPockets community.
A little about me—I was recently accepted into medical school, but after a lot of reflection, I realized the path I truly wanted was one of ownership, freedom, and building something of my own. That led me down the road of real estate investing and entrepreneurship.
Right now, I’m still early in my journey but soaking up as much as I can. I’m currently:
-
Partnered with mentors on a project in Brazil
-
Exploring deals in Cleveland
-
Preparing to launch on my own here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota)
My focus is on learning, connecting with others, and figuring out the best ways to add value while building long-term wealth. I'd love any advice from those who've walked this path—or even just a connection to fellow investors here in Minnesota or beyond.
If you’re working on something similar or just want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks for the warm welcome—excited to be here!
