Getting into STR. Goals & Plan. Seeking Advice

[Marcus Jones]

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to learn as much as possible about STR over the next 12-18 months. My goal is to get into a property that I will self manage by December of 2023. I want to purchase by October and have it fully furnished with teams in place setup by December. I am planning on spending no more than 120k with furnishings, travel expenses, and down payment. I want to eventually grow my portfolio to 5 properties that I manage with my wife. We want to focus in vacation markets such as Destin, PCB, Pigeon forge, and possible somewhere in the Rockies.

I've really considered buying a course but I want to reach out on here first to seek guidance on where I can find free information, mentorship, or possibly add value and work for someone on here that needs help so I can learn!
