@Daniel Radchishin, perfect timing! We have a meetup tonight.  Details below.  Also, if you send me your email, I can invite you to the Slack Channel.

Hey @Brandon Obrien, what's your email?  I'll also add you to our Slack Channel, a great way to connect to people outside of the monthly meetups

@Mitch Davidson, thanks for connecting Brett, I haven't been at my computer much this week.

Hey @Sara Timko! Yes, these are still going on.  Send me your email and I can send you dates and also invited you to the Slack channel.

@Alex Nebe I just put you on the email list that sends reminders of meet up times!

@Bonnie Low If you want to provide your email, I can put you on the email reminder and invite you to our Slack Channel :-)

@Nick Mehl, there has been a lot of chatter in the meetups about this. It seems a lot of people are experiencing this same thing, while others are having solid bookings throughout the winter. The general sense I'm getting is that Covid saw a tremendous boost in bookings, and now we are getting back to normal. Folks that brought a STR to market within the last 1 to 3 years are shocked by the slow down of bookings while people that had STR prior to Covid enjoyed the Covid boost, but are not nervous about the current slowdown. Also, it seems that people offering more unique experience or properties are not seeing any slowdown at all (river/creek on property, unique build, hot tub, etc).

This is not area specific, but I've got two STRs in Myrtle Beach and I've not seen any slowdown in bookings at all.

Casual group of 5 to 30 people discussing all things real estate. Newbies to advanced investors. STR, MTR, LTR, private lending, new builds, businesses within the industry, dealing with vendors, investment strategy, goals, recommendations, investor friendly realtors, etc. It's all up for discussion! We also have a Slack Channel with over 100 members to discuss things outside the meetup!

3rd Wednesday of the month: 6pm at Hi Wire Brewing in the River Arts

4th Wednesday of the month: 9am at Citizen Vinyl downtown

Hey @Tessa Henley, Welcome to Asheville! (not sure how long you've been here?).  I believe attending local meetups will be your best bet.  I've found there isn't a strong BP community in Asheville on this forum like other markets for some reason.  We host a local meetup twice a month in Asheville.  One is in the morning on the 4th Wednesday (just happened this morning) and the other is in the evenings on the third Wednesday.  If you want to share your email, I'm happy to add you to the reminder list.  We also have a Slack Channel with over 80 members discussing Asheville related real estate.

You can look into CREIA as well.  Much larger group.

As a full time investor myself, I think it's hard to just plug someone into current systems or have someone let you shadow, but maybe you'll find that fit?  Doesn't hurt to put it out in the universe!

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!
