Saugerties and Phoenicia are pretty STR friendly as well.Appreciate the insights.

Looking forward to learning more from your insights! 

Thank you, Colleen, that's helpful insight.

The challenge is, I’m not familiar with the local market—or the Mississippi market in general.Does anyone have insight into the market in this area or know of investors interested in properties in western Mississippi?

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I’d love to learn from anyone who has worked in this space or has insights into getting started.

The networking and local market insights are invaluable.For retirement planning, focus on building steady cash flow and consider setting aside a healthy maintenance fund (I usually recommend 6 months of expenses) to protect against any surprises.If you're looking to expand your portfolio, Columbus is a great market where we still see positive cash flowing deals with lots of appreciation potential.

I don’t have a template for you as my partner handles that end of our deals, but I will share some insight that you will also hear on many podcasts.

My priority was finding reliable mentors and peers who could help me learn the ropes, offer guidance, and even share insights about overcoming the unique challenges I was facing as a new agent and investor.Networking wasn’t easy at first.
