I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

Hi does anyone have experience with providing direct STR stays (so not through Airbnb or VRBO) and charging, collecting, and remitting the local Chicago hotel tax?

I have a strong background in sales and business development, with years of experience driving revenue growth, building high-performing teams, and closing deals.

Events like this give the opportunity to meet and talk to investors from all over the country, doing different kind of investing, and with a varied amount of experience.

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

If you're active in the market or have any advice, I’d be grateful to learn from your experience!

My recommendation is to partner with th someone who has a lot more experience before jumping into a syndication after owning one property for less than a year.

Hi John,I appreciate your perspective and experience!

We would like to create a partnership where we are 50/50 partners and he brings the cash and I bring the experience, knowledge, and contacts ect.
