Quote from @Reeti Peshawaria: Hi, I'm in the process of learning about short-term rental investments and analyzing potential markets, but I’ve hit a major roadblock: understanding local regulations.

It really began to hit me then and I did feel intimidated.

High property prices mean fewer people can afford to buy, so more people rent.

And while a 1031 exchange isn’t an option, some people explore alternatives like installment sales to spread out taxes or even tweaking the investment structure so your returns are treated as interest instead of equity.There are definitely some creative strategies out there. 

I'm looking to network with people investing, selling, and rehabbing.  

When it was all said and done, our bad tenant cost us over $30k.The financial hit was certainly tough, but there was also the feeling that we had no control over the situation.

There are far fewer people per house. 3.  

thank you i hope to meet tons of people here!

I would love to speak with people that have experience in the area.If one of your friends would like to talk to me and share some advices it would be great :) 

Maybe go prepared with a spreadsheet of fix up costs prior to just hitting her up with that.
