They don't ask for anything, so seem to just want someone to give them a medal for showing up.I believe the bootcamps and podcasts encourage new users to introduce themselves.

I also have a realtor looking for short term rentals at Grand Lake, Oklahoma, where I have my vacation home, and I have a realtor friend licensed in Missouri and Arkansas whom I'm going to contact to look in Joplin, Missouri and Bella Vista, Arkansas.

He hasn't been active for a while, but look at his page - https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/scottroyalsmith 

I even have a friend who received an unfounded complaint from a neighbor (the neighbor was just against STRs, no events/parties that occurred), and now their property is temporarily banned/under review, regardless of them abiding by all rules.

I've demo'd a bunch and found not a single one that's not either over-priced or saddled with an interface out of MS Word gone wild wet dream. 

If you want DM me and I'll connect you.Then find an investor friendly agent with experience closing VA loans who will help you find the right small-multifamily property.

For example, friends and family have invested in my properties, which has been great for their needs - ask around your friends and acquaintances you already trust to see what opportunities are there.

I have a friend that is pleased with his PM in the area.

Join off-market Facebook groups and local RE investor FB groups to get more local information about potential off-market properties, and find investor-friendly RE agents who are willing to work with you.I would recommend for a first deal at least to get something closer to home, easier to get back and forth to for your own sanity, ability to check on either construction or tenants, address repair and maintenance issues.

There are a lot of HOAs there, but they tend to be STR-friendly.
