AirBNB
The Air BNB industry has been growing exponentially over the past decade, offering lodging, homestays and tourism experiences. It has caused a major dislocation in the entire hotel industry, as it offers often superior accommodations at a reduced price. Across America there are endless opportunities in this clever take on the lodging industry, that combines creativity with internet marketing savvy.
Air BNB investing revolves around owning properties that are suitable for overnight lodging, establishing a price, creating an inviting experience, and cleaning and marketing this opportunity. Some Air BNB investors are focusing on non-traditional offerings, from classic RVs (known as “glamping”) to even conversions of aircraft and even treehouses.

Providers
Brokers & Lenders
No buyer can succeed without assistance from those who can source deals, as well as finance them.
Brokers are an important part of finding properties to buy. This is their specialty, and they typically have listings that are both “public” as well as “private” (those that they are not allowed to reveal to the public due to restrictions from the seller). Successful buyers contact all of the brokers in their niche to see what listings they may have, as well as to get set up in their email database for announcements of new listings. For a complete list of these brokers, click the Learn More button below.
Lenders are the key to successful real estate investing, as it is through the sensible use of leverage that rates of return are maximized. Banks generally all follow the same basic lending principles, but there are certain facts regarding each niche that have to be explored. In many cases – on deals of $1 million or more – you should explore using a loan broker (also known as “capital consultant”) to obtain a loan for you for a fee. This is extremely important on CMBS “conduit” debt and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac “agency” debt. On deals under $1 million, you should focus on seller financing as well as local banks that know the market and are aggressive in lending to their base.

Education
Books & Courses
Before you risk any capital, your first step is to learn everything you can about how to profitably invest in this niche. To accomplish that, there are both free resources as well as books and courses to aid in your quest for mastery of this real estate sector. We recommend that you take advantage of every opportunity to learn as much as possible before you invest your time and money. The most important trait of a successful investor is being able to quickly separate deals into a “might be an opportunity” stack versus a “not an opportunity”, as well as know the steps to conducting superior due diligence. In niche investing, knowledge is power – so get as much of it as you can.
