Being a curious person, I gained an interest in real estate investing due to other classmates being interested in real estate.

Most want experience, coupled with personal/business credit.

I personally don't like getting a lot of automated messages when I rent a STR, I'd rather have some more personal contact.....

I've never done one personally but my understanding is it involves the home being put into a trust, with the sub2 purchaser buying the trust from you.

Our life is complicated and I work a complicated stressful job, but if we’re being honest, I also don’t have time for renters, but I somehow make it work and I personally think it pays off.Mtg: 1800Rent: 2900Owe: 200Rate: 4.5 I thinkSell Price: est. 450-460No other rentals except an in law suite on our current primaryFuture goals: would love to use this properly to buy other properties to get out of the corporate rat race. 

And personally, I stay away from OH because it's what herd think has long been and I worry how much of price is based on herd-actions or market metrics. 

i'd pick a market close by, or that you have a personal connection to, or that you visit often.chasing cash flow by itself can lead to negative outcomes - for example, these investors bought in supposed "cash flow" markets:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...hope this helps.

I know a couple of the Realtors on the team at Suncoast Property Management, Acquisitions & New Construction Manager, Gretchen Kornutik, REALTOR® - Good person.

And you can't legally dictate how much they carry for personal belongings. 

Also interested in networking to learn more about my personal interest in STR's primarily in the Tampa, Bradenton, and Sarasota markets along with other southeast coastal and mountain markets.
