@Connor Bath,Good luck, this looks like a fun project.

There was even one exceptionally kind Bigger Pockets member that seemed to know a lot about health and physical activity that we even chatted on the phone afterwards and he gave me some good pointers.  

If you have strong market knowledge and the ability to find deals, working in acquisitions for a syndicator or a real estate private equity shop could be a good fit. 

Now this REALLY seemed too good to be true.

A good real estate agent who understands investment properties, a lender who works with investors, a solid contractor, and a property inspector can save you a ton of headaches down the line.

The goal is to mitigate the risk as much as possible with finding a good location and solid property.

Also, the turnover will be much lower, but maintenance costs might shift too, so it's good to plan for that.Happy to connect if you need more tips!

Nice job getting a good return either way!

Hello All,we are on contract with our first STR now and decided to manage ourselves. does anyone know a good pricing manager/synching system? 

Some will offer a HELOC even if they originated your first mortgage. thank you for taking the time to respond, I will look with some credit unions That's a good call.
