Connecting with local investors or agents experienced in VA loan-friendly multifamily properties can also help.Good luck!

There are many great professionals available; I recommend interviewing several to ensure they have an investor-friendly approach.

Hey all my name is Laurence I’m a brand new member of np I  live in Orlando fl I’ve listened to about 100 episodes of the podcast I have zero real estate experience I’m looking to buy my first property to house hack this year I have a decent amount of money in the savings account I could use for a down payment also have a good credit score I don’t have a high monthly income unfortunately but just looking for any advice or tips or friends to bounce ideas off I’m debating which market would be better between the central Florida area or the Tampa area I also would love to get involved in flips at some point 

Hi Nida,I'm a bit late to the party but better late than never I guess lolIn the search bar here on Bigger Pockets or even a Google research will reveal a lot of info about certain companies.I'd always like to joke around and say that "Google is your best friend" when looking to work with someone new lolI'd like to second Jason's comment who has been around the turnkey game for a long time and has probably conducted due diligence on many if not all turnkey providers over the years.Not many have stood the test of time and I'm proud to say that we have.Not intending to plug my company as we have many battle scars that started from day 1.But still here and still battling away 🤓Why we survived and thrived unlike many others was keeping our operation small and boutique and only doing deals on our terms.Low volume sales and thorough investor pre-qualification (As not everyone that has a pulse is necessarily a good fit for what we can provide).Some investors did better than others but one thing I can happily say is that we always did our best for all.I believe a very important component to any "true" turnkey company is that the penny ultimately drops must drop with them.Meaning, if you invest and things don't go the way as planned it is entirely up to them to rectify.No finger pointing or passing on the monkey to someone else (Like a realtor, contractor or PM).A true turnkey company stands behind it's properties, rehabs and in-house property management.Key phrase here is "in-house property management".Everything must be under the same roof and the provider must take all responsibility for the outcome of that investment.Wishing you much success

Strict landlord laws and high prices make house hacking tough, especially if you’re planning to leave.Since you’re open to out of state investing, there are plenty of cash flowing, landlord friendly markets worth considering.

@Ali HamadeSince your property is ideal for house hacking and generating rental income, targeting an investor-friendly audience is a smart approach.

That said, I have a good friend of mine who is very well seasoned in this space, whom i have immense respect for, once told me he won't work with anyone who he hasn't known for at least 5 years.

Focus on factors like affordability, growth potential, demand, and landlord-friendly regulations to guide your decision.Good luck!

Growing your network for you with investor-friendly agents will be the best thing to do for you.

The SPB and TI areas are actually generally not STR friendly and have 30 night minimums for single family residences.
