First Time Investor - What do you wish you knew?

[Dominic Litz]

Hi y'all new investor here and looking to get a small STR in Cape Cod (preferably in the West Yarmouth area), what do I need to know about the area and STRs? Are there local regulations, is it easy to find cleaners/handymen/contracts/etc.? Any barriers to entry or things you wished you knew for your first property in the area?

Appreciate all the help!
