@Jason Brown - I'm a CT based investor, flipper, and property management company owner.  

I have managed to get myself into a bit of a complex situation on my first deal and I'm looking for some advice. 

We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

I currently work with investors who are looking to invest SFH/LTR that are turn-key ready and manage for them on the back end, so I see a lot of benefits in that market across the board. 

Been with a handful of property managers during that time.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $14,000 I purchased and managed a rental property in Chicago, focusing on strategic improvements and tenant satisfaction to increase both its value and profitability.

Lenders, Investors, Hard Money, Partners will focus on experience and risk, so bringing value by finding great deals or managing renovations, can help you break in.Keep refining your approach and connecting with the right people!

.✔ Call the employer directly – If HR is off-limits, ask for a manager’s contact instead.✔ Stick to a Consistent Screening Process – Fair Housing laws require uniform screening criteria, so making an exception for one applicant could lead to discrimination claims.

My top recommendation is to begin by contacting property management companies in each target area.

Getting Fair deals on labor and repairs comes from developing win/win relationships with contractors.
