I started investing in real estate in July of last year and now have 3 rental properties. 1 in Alabama purchased through REI Nation and 2 in Port Charlotte Florida purchased through Rent to Retirement. 

Number of National Association of Realtors members in the United States from 2009 to 2022  You are so clueless Ken it's nauseating! 

National Real Estate Insurance Group also has a lot of different products for real estate investors. 

Median property prices are about a third below the national median, rents are high - the Milwaukee rental market is the most competitive in the US, second only to Miami, FL (according to Q1 2024 report from rentcafe).

. - San Diego rent delinquent rate is near the lowest in the nation.- San Diego’s eviction rate is near lowest in the nation.   

STRInsights is slightly superior to Airdna when comparing markets on a national or regional level.

Be creative in finding tenants by partnering with local, state, or even national businesses.

Most traffic will be on Zillow or MLS.I would try Zillow first, if not enough interest I would do a flat fee MLS listing.FB groups national and local for STR's would be another free place to advertise.

Larger national companies like State Farm, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual are known for providing comprehensive coverage, so they could be good places to start your search.

Do I talk with a local bank, national bank, or mortgage broker?
