Quote from @Ismael El Hamdouchi: Hey everyone, I’ve been actively learning and growing in the investing space — mainly focused on Texas, Ohio, and Florida — and I’m always looking to sharpen my approach. 

@Youngwan Ko Yes, co-hosting is the cleanest way to handle an active Airbnb.

Right now, the plan is to be more active than just buying and holding.

The distinction between active and passive income is so important for investors, and the RE Pro status is a game-changer for offsetting active income.

If anything, you lack the scale to have systems and resources in place, so you'll just be stressed every time you need a repair.

I could also potentially pull $100K instead and try to still do a owner occ loan and get a $5,361 monthly.I'm unsure of my goals now as it really was to achieve financial freedom with semi-active/passive income build-up but the thought of being able to leverage the cash is very intriguing to me.

so stressful now.It would be greatly appreciated if anybody in this area who can advice based on experience.https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2472-Overlook-Rd-APT-3-Cl...Thank you!

When analyzing DSCR loans, do you run scenarios like 10% vacancy or higher expenses, or do you underwrite only on current rent?

One tip I’d share is to really focus on understanding your local regulations and market demand first — a lot of beginners get excited about potential profits but run into hurdles if they don’t know the rules.Connecting with someone who’s actively running STRs in your area can make a huge difference.

We have friends who can immediately co-list with us so I plan on leveraging that expertise to relieve some of the mental burden.
