It appears there are still opportunities to buy good properties in decent areas, though I’m sure it’s important to be very specific about locations.

Start by researching local regulations and working with an agent experienced in vacation rentals.

I’ve been in the industry for several years, and my work has given me a solid understanding of property systems, maintenance, and what makes a home a great investment.I’m now looking to expand my own real estate journey by learning how to acquire and manage short-term and long-term rental properties.

Hi All,I’m excited to join this platform and connect with other professionals in the real estate industry.

Curious how our self-managed 3-unit STR/MTR performs with industry expectations.

A single-family home or small multi-unit property can be a great way to dip your toes in the water.Build a Team: Even if you’re planning to handle most things yourself, having a good real estate agent, property manager (if needed), and a reliable handyman can make life so much easier.Learn the Local Laws: Pensacola is pretty investor-friendly, but it’s always good to know local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations if you’re thinking about Airbnb or VRBO.Run the Numbers: Make sure you’re clear on the property’s cash flow potential.

As others have stated, there are Income discrimination laws in Kansas City so if you are an investor with rental properties in this city, make sure you understand the regulations. 

My focus is on raising capital for acquisitions and acting as a general partner in real estate investments, with a special interest in industrial, multifamily, and retail properties.

However, I’d love to hear insights from the community:1.Are there specific lenders or institutions you’d recommend that cater to international investors?

Pick up the phone or stop by local code enforcement offices to make sure that you have a crystal clear understanding of local laws and regulations.
