Many of the investors that I work with prefer the LTR strategy. 

I'm a very new real estate investor and pretty new to BP as well (only my second post) so excuse me for any mistakes in my post. 

Hard Money loans have been the downfall of many new investors. 

What I mean is look for areas that are favorable for investors / landlords.

Since you’re already diving into BiggerPockets, focus on clarifying your investment goals (house hacking, multifamily, or BRRRR), building your network with experienced investors and lenders, and most importantly, taking action by analyzing real deals.

Many of those properties were build by my team for investors.

The problem with metrics is that there is no one metric that fits all investors and situations.Looking at some of the enervation shows on TV, the price they pay and what they put into the property would never work in the markets we have experience in.  

•Many STR investors are in the $300,000–$500,000 range, so homes closer to $600,000–$700,000 may face less direct competition but will require higher nightly rates to be profitable.

Hey @Aaron Price, I think the best way you can get started in real estate is to reach out to local investor-friendly agents in your market.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.
