It is not that good at the price point of DC or in my market (but better than my market).  

Study the market.

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

Recently, I became a licensed agent specializing in short-term rentals and multifamilies, particularly in vacation markets and Worcester County.I joined BiggerPockets to share insights, learn from others, and connect with investors who want to scale their portfolios.For those who are active on this platform:-What’s the best way to introduce myself and provide value here?

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

Any marketing should always be based on the information provided by sellers in a deal. 

You can get screwed on changing markets and unreliable contractors though.  

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

The best way to learn the multifamily market is to purchase a multifamily property.

I didn't follow the impacts on the housing market though.Great website.
