I just need help on finding a path to get my hands on the capital  I highly recommend going and taking @Frank Rolfe's MHP bootcamp but also talk to local banks

.: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: having been a back room vendor for Montelongo  Vertucci  rich dad poor dad.I got to interact with hundreds of students.. its like anything RE related only a little worse than say RE agents .. 20% of RE agents make 80s of the income

@Tara JosbergerCharleston is a strong market for real estate, but local regulations play a big role in investment strategy.

Quote from @Morgan Leiviska: How I would build this database for you would be to connect with people at local meetups that you find.

Financing can make a big difference, and local lenders who understand house hacking and multi-family investing can sometimes offer more flexibility than big banks.

The 70% rule is a good starting point, but also factor in local market trends and high-ROI upgrades like kitchen and bathroom updates, modern flooring, and curb appeal.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Consider sourcing a local REI group for that info.I recommend evaluating your local area first since that is what you are most familiar with and most accessible.

i feel like the local FB groups will not allow me to advertise my STR there because they would label it as "soliciting".. any way to get around this so that it doesn't look like i'm soliciting? 

On the surface, it might seem cheaper to hire a PM company, but when you factor in vacancies, maintenance, and under-market rents, you’ll likely come out ahead by managing it yourself.I used to work for a local investor with 500+ units, all in one town.
