As a Florida Real Estate Attorney and Investor, I have seen investors do their best networking with local groups.

Networking with Canadians who’ve invested in the U.S. and finding good local agents or property managers will also help a lot.

I recommend local meetups. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521

Attend your local REI meet-ups and try to find someone who is currently house-hacking or has house-hacked in the past to learn from their experience.

I'm a local investor, flipper, and property management company owner.  

It was just an offer (costs extra) through a local lender I used!

A key part of our team is our talented interior designer, who helps us add that extra flair to every property we touch.We’re eager to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, contractors, and anyone else who shares our passion for real estate.

Starting with the Right PropertyGiven that this is your first STR and you’re planning to manage remotely, I’d suggest focusing on a market with a strong local infrastructure for short-term rentals—like Panama City Beach or Destin.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Hey Jon would recommend checking out FB groups if you aren't local (looks like you're based in the Bay).
