Thanks- Robert very challenging to wholesale commercial properties as there are a lot less than residential and most are more complex and sellers typically go through brokers and the buyers are more institutional as well.

Quote from @Vince Scipione: In my professional oppinion I feel as though the influx of agents joining the field since covid significantly watered down the quality in the industry.

I definitely get most of my information here + my software email updates usually keep me pretty well informed. 

Quote from @John Reagan Johnson: I am new to the real estate industry and am looking to connect and exchange businessIf you are new I would suggest something totally different. 

As more people placed more properties in STR inventory, and as more municipalities taxed and regulated the industry, the profitability of the overall industry has reverted to a much more aligned (lower) risk adjusted return.  

Looking great! 

If they’re underfunded, you could get hit with special assessments.Since you want to stay local and focus on cash flow, commercial makes sense, but have you considered industrial or flex space?

I am committed to gaining knowledge and understanding the ins and outs of the industry.

Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.
