I'd love to hear any advice on how other hosts in similar situations do this!  

Hey @Robert Rixer, there are a few in FtL @George Munoz and @Scott Kidd are hosts of a couple meet ups.

meet regularly. 

also side note @Carolyn Yates Docks can and are insured quite regularly. 

I have listened to about 40 episodes of bigger pockets rookie and regular episodes.

They meet regularly and can be a great resource for learning and networking. https://www.northwestreia.com/events I have a great network of property managers for long term and short term, so if you are looking to interview some folks who can help with that, please send me a PM.

Also, there was regularly raw garbage or trash bags left sitting on the ground. 

I own a property in the Disney market and co-host/manage another 25 in the area.Disney I think is a good market if your goals are more aligned with traditional long term real estate goals, and a bad market if your goals are more immediate gratification and short term cash flow.The major benefit of the Disney market is that it's about the safest market you can find from a long-term perspective. 

Hey hosts! 

Hi, I'm considering buying a property and would like to connect with fellow hosts in the area.
