I'm currently building up capital for future ventures and properties that I find on market, as well as attempting to find the best brokerage where I can work under an individual who is already more established.

Thank you Ill try them as well.

Background checks on how well they avoid trouble.

Hi Jack, there's a lot of old stock - I've traveled there and seen it myself, but word is out of Syracuse and it has shown up in various BP "lists" over the past 12 months as well.

We just had one, and we got the deal, due to that as well. 

I am in the Port Saint Lucie, Fl market and i have an airbnb that is doing quite well from an income perspective. 

Lots of people rent houses for parties as well, and you won’t be able to do anything about it.  

We've got great reviews and super host status on a personal account, but we're planning on building a brand via our management company and buying cabin communities / boutique hotels as well.

If it comes down to it, might as well.

p.s. thank you @ScottTrench for your guidance as well!
