If you host on Airbnb you're probably already aware that they're launching 10 new updates to the platform for Hosts starting today.

Frankly, if you're not willing to fully flesh out the automation of STR tenants and tussle with AirBNB, VRBO, etc. policies (or worse, use those platforms as lead generation and have your own STR booking system), make your exit strategy to be a small local portfolio that won't expand for passive income or simply get an attractive portfolio enough to sell to a big corp like Sonder (who has bought small businesses before).

I was always looking for fixers in bad parts of town, and often there was a window or door left unlocked so you could just 'let yourself in'.

Try Taskrabbit too, they verify their worker's info before letting them use the platform. 

it doesn't have to be real estate right this minute, maybe you take part of that $5k saved and start dabbling in stocks you feel good about. buy stocks based on things you and your friends like - Apple, Nike, Starbucks.... im not a huge fan of Robinhood (the platform) but i believe you can buy fractional stocks now as well, so even things like Google or Tesla which are expensive to buy 1 share, you could start with percentages.You are so young, and have so much time on your side.

BP is an incredible platform to be on.

But I’ve had to ask him to quiet down about once a week at 11pm for two months.It’s gotten to the point tonight he says the window is open and he’s just using headphones but I hear it reverberating into my room… the walls are rather thin but it still annoys the heck out of me.Is this just to be expected in a room rental?

I know that the ATM funds have a 7 year window and that's one of the things that made me nervous.

New cabinets, and granite counter tops, full bathroom rehab in 2 bathrooms, new windows, new wood sighting on entire outside of home, new wood deck in back yard, new paint and texture job throughout.

Thank you Conner, I will duplicate my listing as you suggested across multiple platforms and find that app I heard about that manages the calendar and bookings across platforms.I guess it's good to hear I'm not alone in this with your lead times reduced as well.
