I'm not looking into house hack, although that would be viable if I was younger.

I just have capital saved and with the vast array of investment options in real estate I been pondering what the most effective way to do it would be.

I'm still considering a multi family but instead of just going into it with the narrow point of view of using it as a long term rental I should be be considering any unit for possible STR/MTR depending on the market as well.

With the whole Airbnb arbitrage I thought it would be a good way to enhance cash flow.

So let's say I have just 100k to work with. Instead of putting that into one property to own and rent out, I could take that 100k and rent out three units and use the capital to furnish it and go the air bnb arbitrage route.

As the units generate cash flow I would use that as future capital to buy property.

That was the thought. Acquiring property is the ultimate goal but it was just how to get there most effectively is why I wanted to ask everyone on here their opinons.

Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback. I felt it worthwhile to just gauge what the thought is about arbitrage and its seems pretty consistent with majority feeling its best not to do it.

Hey all,

First time posting here. Wondering if anyone has experiences with doing air bnb arbitrage? Saw courses through social media that looked appealing for mentorship however I cannot say if they are actually legitimate. Anyone has experiences with a program like what Calvin Tran is offering?

With the market the way it is and living in the Boston area, getting a long term investment property that actually cash flows is not possible. I understand that there are other benefits with real estate investing taxes, appreciation etc. 

I have the finances to put down a down payment of 25%-30% to acquire a multi family. Everything around where I am goes around $1 million.

I’m stuck and not sure what’s the best use of my capital is in today’s market. Hence the thought of maybe doing something unconventional like Airbnb arbitrage where I don’t necessary need to deploy so much of my existing capital to get cash flow.

should I stick with the traditional methods and just keep analyzing deals and see if I can eventuallly find a  rental property that will work?  Or force myself to think  differently in today’s market?

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks.
