I intend to relocate to the Rapid City, SD region in April/May for work, and I plan to acquire a primary residence that could eventually be transformed into an investment property.

Here’s how automation can transform your rental game:Guest Messaging on Autopilot: Imagine responding to every guest inquiry with personalized messages—without any manual effort.

RTR identified a property in Kenmore, an area they said would soon be transformed by the city.

It could be a property on a double lot, a property that get's dismissed because it is full of clutter, a listing that has the square footage wrong etc - and a deal can be made (not found)I’m not a wholesaler per se, but I have done a lot of marketing, at least in the past, due to endeavoring find deals. 

I think you've heard most of the good reasons that it's probably not going to be the profitable endeavor you might think.

I will look at a few factors, rent for area, total mortgage payment with property taxes( which can be crazy in Detroit), investment in neighborhood, I like looking into places where they are building homes and apartments that attract young professionals or families , and also looking at potential to make a single family home into a duplex or something can add an adu or transform a basement to a studio apartment!

I visit Warm Lake, Idaho every year (2.5 hrs north of Boise) and have seen Boise transformed over the last 25+ years.

I am another recent entry into the REI endeavor courtesy of the Morris Invest podcast and YouTube videos.

Has anyone used/ found a course, literature, podcast, or mastermind that they found to be beneficial when starting up their own co hosting endeavor ?

Good luck with your endeavors!
