First time home buyer, and looking at buying for the scope of listing on AirBnb as opposed to living in it. Would rather pay rent on my apartment and have a cash flowing asset. Would really love to connect with someone experienced in the AirBnb space. Could thoroughly use a mentor if anyone’s kind enough
