Vacation Rental Consulting
I am in the process of starting a short term rental consulting company offering the services of str marketing strategies, how to manage your own rental, how to find the right property management company, finding the right str home, knowledge in real estate (podcasts, books, videos, and surface level alternative forms of investing in real estates besides strs), and then a package of pretty much everything a-z from finding a home, to managing or finding a management company, marketing it, to software, tech, and security etc. I have a main goal of wanting to build connections as I am finishing up school so my strategy would be to partner with agents where they sent their investors to me to get them the property, I take my cut and provide any services they would like, and send them back to the agent to follow through with their deal. So both sides are benefiting I am getting a lead, the agent isn't dealing with finding a house and doing market research on strs, and the buyer is getting a property from someone educated in the industry. Do you guys think there is a need for this? I run into countless agents who just aren't as knowledgeable in the re investment market as many investors would like. Let me know thoughts. Thank you!

So @Braeden Cobb, I find all that and more right here on this site. Just do a search and you can find literally anything you need to know about any real estate topic. If you can't find it, just ask and people will step up. I can't imagine ever hiring someone myself when I have made connections where I can ask of their personal and professional knowledge and get the right answer.
