Starting My STR Journey

Hello everyone,

I recently embarked on my STR journey in early October. While I've been enrolled in an online course, I've found it to be quite costly and not as practical as I'd hoped.

I recently discovered BP through a friend, and I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge and support this community offers. However, I'm facing a challenge: closing deals. The course heavily relies on cold calling and emailing, which hasn't been effective for me as a novice.

I'm considering a different approach, such as arbitrage, as it seems more accessible for a beginner. While I'm not entirely discouraged, I feel like I've invested significant resources (LLC, website, domain) without securing a deal that generates cash flow.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
