I have had people asking me about burning out @Byron Umana, but I just don't.

The founder appears to have been involved in businesses outside of real estate: ‘My dream is a locally made grooming products business’ | People | nashvillepost.comSo it does not appear there is a lot of track record there, but those are questions I would ask.

While this won't stop the Gen Y and Z crowd, I think it will make it harder for people to raise money, when a company with 30 yr track records are marketing right along side the guy with 2 yrs (for a similar type of deal).

Attend local real estate investor (REI) meetings and get to know people.

Furnished finder has some stats on people looking for furnished spaces in Denver that may help. 

People who fail to keep good tenants and turn over every year, they lose. 

I think the main thing people would point to as a red flag for Ocala is that it is not a large employment center like Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville and as a result may be more exposed to a pull back in values when there is a downturn. 

So it probably makes sense to send targeted letters to people who you're most interested in connecting with.Solid advice, thank you.

I also wouldn't touch hilltop with a 10' pole. struggled. old homes, over budget renovations, lots of issues. realtors push people here since it's the only place cheap houses close to downtown can be good but homes are 1900-1920.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.
