I’m here to gain insight into the investment side of things, and connect with people already familiar.

Are you saying you are blocking weekend days to force people to book weekdays?

I almost never get calls, most people send a message via Vrbo or Airbnb if needed, but it it much more common for them to just instant book with no questions.

There are so many people that are having HUGE success in this market.

I’ve been in this space for a long time, coaching and investing, and I love helping people get started.

When that area was built, people flocked to it for it's affordability, but over the course of several years, it became like a ghost town. 

Keeping in touch with people in the field might help you keep updated and perhaps lead to profitable collaborations.By thoroughly researching, budgeting wisely, and managing your projects carefully, you can successfully flip houses even in a new state.

One solution I see some people do is to partner with another investor on a couple of deals where each brings something to the table...more capital, experience, etc.

The feedback I've received from people is that the legal side tends to be excellent. 

@Jason Sinclair, having a designer for a wife, I would answer that it really depends heavily on each house, the flow and usability of the spaces as they are, and the overall use of space in the house as a whole.That being said, while there may be a small shift towards more separated spaces, "open concept" is by no means dead, and in many markets, most people seem to still want to have connectivity between their communal spaces.In fact, my wife's current flip is a split level (although technically it is a split-foyer), and she is taking out a structural wall to connect the kitchen, dining and living areas.
