I don't have anything in this particular market, but glad there are people like you that do.

This is particularly true if you're a new agency borrower with limited multifamily experience. 

This enabled them to pay their agent.This approach is particularly crucial when the listing agent is unable or unwilling to negotiate the traditional 4-6% commission with the seller, leaving no commission to share.

Are you seeing any specific creative financing strategies working particularly well right now, like seller financing or joint ventures?

Or do their job and come up with a new strategy to get qualified tenants in.I know quite a few people in the property mgmt, and there are certainly some great ones, but also ALOT of lazy ones, just like in many different service industries. particularly with larger companies with lots of employees

I'm particularly interested in learning about buying multifamily properties or apartments.I'd love to hear any advice or encouragement you might have.

The Midwest is of particular interest to us specifically because we are there often. 

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!

The studies can address current year assets as well as those placed in service in prior tax years without the need to amend prior tax returns.ConclusionUnderstanding the difference between short-term and long-term rentals is crucial for real estate investors, particularly when it comes to depreciation and tax planning.

Which brings me to the purpose of my post: What types of jobs/professions would be best to learn more about real estate investments - particularly for someone who wants to focus on residential and (eventually) commercial multi-family properties?
