Thank you for your suggestion to make the site better and more useable

Not all the links work, please be patient.What is working is the membership back end of the site and the calendar.

Fort Drum has its own housing site and I have had some success on there.

In the Seattle market, condoizing costs around 15K (survey, site plan, recording fees, legal fees, HOA creation and coaching from lawyer, setting up utility sub-metering if required).

I learn a lot from this site and looking forward to be more engaged in the future.

They also have a pulse on who in the area has successful property management businesses (maybe themselves)3) Search direct booking sites in your area on google like "Vacation Rentals In Allentown" and see if websites pop up that are not airbnb or Vrbo you could reach out on.

It syndicates to all the same sites such as Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com and even Realtor.com. 

Look into local neighborhoods, be aware of market trends, and choose a site that complements your idea.And finally, accept the learning curve.

VRBO, Airbnb, and best of all, direct sites!

I also found a website that scans/monitors other sites for legitimacy, and it flagged theirs as likely a scam; d) I know of a handful of investors in my area who didn't learn through a program like this, but through their own networks and education (through REI networking events, getting their RE license, property management, books, etc); e) I started exploring BP's free and affordable (i.e. books) resources, and it turns out, these have been immensely useful and educational and allow me to move at my own pace.
