If you interested in growing your STR company, finding a group that fits your goals and needs may not be a bad idea!

Phoenix metro has a lot of areas that would fit your criteria.

Not blaming anyone here but definitely Ohio Cashflow wasn’t a fit.

Keep researching and visiting potential areas; finding the right fit might take some time, but it's key to a successful investment. 

My goals are to close on two real estate deals, improve my physical fitness, finish my masters degree, and I am getting married in may so I want to start off my marriage well and enjoy life with my fiance!

@Kelly BeckWhen you are developing your strategy on where to invest you can Google the individual states that fit your investment strategy and goals.

There are plenty of quality Communities out there, you just need to find one (or several) that has a culture that fits your personality.The other thing you could do is become accredited through taking the Series 65 exam. 

Look for properties that fit your goals and bring in good money flow.

Send him a letter, emphasize that you are personally yourself the end-buyer, include proof of funds, include something attesting to you being financeable (unless your proof of funds is for the full cash purchase price).If he owns 20 local businesses, good chance he's in at least one chamber of commerce, and if he's not, he 100% knows people that are, who will spill the beans and offer to do an intro if you mention you're interested in buying a gas station over a beer or a meal (there's probably like 3 people in that city that fit this description, why not get introduced to all 3?)

This area does great with STR and MTR's because of its location close to the city and Med center.  6812 Winton St, 77021 may be a good fit for a light value add.
