Also if any NJ agents that are familiar with using these and transitioning out of them can reach out for some advice and education that would be great seeing that I will need an investor Friendly agent over here to help guide me through everything.

Does anyone know an investor friendly tax/attorney person that I can talk to and can guide me through this process? 

@Joshua MiddletonI am very familiar with that street, good friend used to rent Long term on it for about 7 years.  

STR-friendly markets make it easier to get started and grow your business, and the lack of state income tax is a huge perk.

One friend of mine house hacked a duplex in Pittsburgh, initially making just $75/month after expenses.

You don’t have to be aggressive about it but maintaining friendly contact can go a long way.

There might be larger buildings available but I don’t follow that market too much through the MLS, only some NH Landlord Facebook groups which are both owner friendly and agent friendly.

A friend of mine in Austin once negotiated a partial buy back option when the seller realized they might want back in if the market soared.. from what I read in Bloomberg, that approach can work well if both sides trust each other.If the tenants’ rent covers your carrying costs, that’s a nice cushion, but you still need to clarify that buy back clause.

Gather emails with something like Stayfi, use a qr code to have guests follow you on socials or leave their emails in a sign up for discounts coming back, use a Meta Pixel on your direct booking website or landing page and then do a retarget ad campaign to them, offer "Family and Friends" promo codes to guests when they come back through an auto message a couple of weeks after they have left, etc. are some that I use.  

Locally some investors say that Niagara county is actually a little more landlord friendly than Erie, but I do not have experience in both counties so I can't comment on that.
