I manage my own portfolio and have worked as a PM for a very successful individual but have never considered managing other peoples properties.

🤔 Anyway my point is you need to surround yourself with likeminded people.  

@Kyle Carter People hit on the obvious, hype and excitement of a large name company like apple moving to an area. 

FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.

Quote from @Jake Gasperi: For people just starting out to people that have been investing for years..

That means YES, they are actually with people sitting down and scrolling through new listings every day looking for people to tag.

I believe if people make money and there is sufficient housing supply, housing will become affordable. 

One golden rule I follow,if it takes a long time to fix/replace when it breaks, don't buy a cheap one.Imagine, this thing breaks in the middle of your peak season and the people who can come out to rebuild are 2 weeks out....It takes at least a day or two to build something like this even if you are super skilled.

My realtor told me that there's been happenings of neighbors turning in people who are doing STR's and getting investigated by authorities, resulting in fines & such.  

I am that guy in the comments that calls these people out.
