I would love the opportunity to host some sort of lunch or meeting that would be for locals trying to get started investing, current investors, people talking about their roses and thorns in investing, etc.

Both host conferences and weddings.

. - This is definitely a factor currently impacting airbnb hosts.

I was listening to a BP webinar and the host was talking about doing a sneaky rental deal, where you buy the house as a primary residence, live in it, and then move out and rent it out.   

If you get into co-hosting a STR and the owner still has some responsibilities, that handles the license issues until you get a realtor's license, or just carry on with co-hosting.

. - The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates. - I called a car dealer to get the book value on my used car.

Renting an entire private residence out on Airbnb is strictly prohibited (unless you are in one of the casino condohotels like the MGM Signature).  

She is also hosting a real estate investment conference (Invest Fest) this weekend. 

This will help you build relationships and generate referral business.Open Houses: Host open houses for the property to give potential investors the opportunity to view the property and ask questions.

If you somehow lost the ability to maintain the same platform then change your host(?)
