One recent platform I am using is NotebookLM which allows me to put all the day's or week's news about real estate and recent developments into one place and then question the sources and get just the information I need to make informed decisions. 

Over the years, I have 1) invested heavily in education (underwriting, financing, market analysis, asset management, identifying macro/micro trends per market, etc), and 2) developed strong relationships with a network of accredited investors who are interested in diversifying and jumping into the multifamily space.

My current focus is on doing my first flip or live-in flip here, and I'm eager to learn from those with experience in this space.I'm particularly interested in developing solid systems and strategies to achieve long-term financial freedom through real estate.

I have owned in both areas with no issues and good revenue. 

I recommend GC Realty & Development as a property manager if you want to pursue that market.  

I've developed some great relationships and also a business partner from these meetings.

So are you saying we should go with an LTR first and develop some knowledge/experience before getting into STR's?

For example, Bali’s real estate market has attracted interest from international investors due to its growing tourism industry and development potential.

Would it make a nice mid term rental if I need a revenue boost?

This gives people little reason to choose older existing homes over new developments.
