 thank you for this, because locals always have the better pulse for the city than anyone else can or will. 

Yes! I noticed on the city website that it can only be done in certain areas, which I'm more than fine with. I wanted to see about winter market up there. 

Hello everyone,

My business partner and I are considering buying in Niagara Falls as a short term rental investment and we'd love to speak to someone there running a vacation rental. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Carson, I'll PM you shortly. 

Hello BP, I'm looking for a 3 and or 4 bedroom house in the Crescent City area of Northern California. Anyone working out there, I'd love to talk to you.

Hello Mario, thanks for posting this as I'm actually looking into ADUs. Even though I'm based in San Francisco, I have friends in the area and I'd love to attend your next meetup. 

Hi Bryan, welcome to the group. As an investor for now off/on 10 years, the best advice I can give you is to start figuring out your finances. Budget everything out and once you have an idea of what type of property you want, then establish an LLC. You want to treat your first investment as a business and creating one will save you loads of headaches in the future. The other advice that I completely agree with everyone here is that you should start absorbing as much information as possible. Grab as many books from multi-family investors in the BP authors and go through as many podcasts as you can. Lastly and very importantly, your net worth is completely tied to your network. Go to physical meetups if possible. Go to them as often as you can, network as though you life depends on this, because I think this is what slowed down my process. I'm not a very shy person until you get me in a room with a bunch of strangers. Go anyways, even if you walk away only talking to one other person- do it and don't stop. One place to look for local meetups is meetup.com- create an account and go from there.

Hello Everyone, 

Any good recommendation on STR realtors out in Joshua Tree area? I'm going to be in town this coming weekend and would love to view a few properties while there.

Thanks in advance.

Never get rid of a bedroom, it automatically ads value to your property. Like @Amit M. just said, ask any realtor. Any chance you can possibly add more space to the bathroom by taking a small chunk from a closet or another area?

It can range from $250-$400 in San Francisco but trying to get a qualified GC with crew ready and available during the same year you want to do work... good luck. I scheduled mine 8 months ahead, especially after the north bay fires.
