Someone once asked me, can I buy a home if I only make $30,000/yr? The answer is YES YOU CAN! Heck, you could probably get a home loan if the home was only a few grand and you were earning only a few grand per year in income. The reality is that its not just ONE thing that will help you get a loan and buy a house. In fact you need to to have several things in alignment (like your credit, your taxes and your income and some savings). Also, most low income home loans are government insured through FHA (Federal Housing Administration) so if you follow FHA requirements, your lender can give you a better deal (such as low down payments, low closing costs and easy credit qualifying).

Let's face it! There is no get rich fast scheme within the Airbnb world. [caption id="attachment_1167" align="alignright" width="334"] Vacation Rental Property[/caption] Just the time it takes to find, buy and close on a real estate property takes enough time. But when we factor in the time it takes to set, up, run and manage a vacation & short-term rental, we must question whether or not it can truly ever become a passive income model. In my opinion, the answer is not really. Its probably why some of the big wig management companies are getting out of the biz and closing their doors to the properties whose numbers just don't make sense financially when all is said and done. When all is said and done, means that all expenses are taken…

[caption id="attachment_1341" align="alignright" width="281"] Indianapolis Real Estate Broker, Rachel Prince[/caption] More often then none, I get the call that a client wants to convert their property into an Airbnb home. I first have to ask them what their motives are. After all, Airbnb is not a passive income industry and relies heavily on quality & responsive customer service and hospitality. Many of these are landlords are renting out the rooms by the week or month. They usually own a slew of properties and some of the homes have even gone into disarray. The conversion process from landlord to short-term rental host can be quite tricky and not what one is accustomed to. So, if you are a seasoned investor looking to convert a few of your rental properties or deciding…

Airbnb guests are a great excuse to go take a free vacay!!! Last week I booked some Airbnb guests at the Indy Zen Den and used the time to go visit some friends in Chicago. I hadn't been back to Chi-town in years! It's only a 3 hour drive from Indianapolis so I figured, why not?! Along the way, I just had to soak up a piece of history, so I stopped in Lafayette, IN where the original Purdue University-Hoosiers come from.  Cute houses and spring flowers lined the streets, along with the cutest main street and state capitol. I booked an incredible Airbnb apartment in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast with some referral credit that I had from Airbnb. (learn what this is) I went restaurant hopping in the…

4 Ways Make Money on Someone Else's Airbnb Investment by Rachel Prince, Airbnb Real Estate Investing Educator There is a lid for every pot. Just like each investor, whether a private investor, a friend or family member, or a private money lender, will have specific requirements for how they want you to put their money to work and pay them back. Furthermore, its up to you to understand how to structure your deals so that you get what you want out of it too. I believe being able to articulate a clear vision for how well you can leverage an investors cash on their behalf, is one of the first steps to attracting in a strong investor pool. Knowing what you will and will not settle for, plus what reasonable…

Enjoying a cup of Joe along with my weekly Airbnb review. Today we explore a friend's Desert Retreat in Sedona, Arizona.
