Hi BP Community, Although I have been listening to BP podcast for quite awhile now, I am new to joining this online community!

I totally get it – sometimes it's just about being there for people when they’re ready to listen.

Quote from @Jake Bute: Good Afternoon,I listened to Wheelwright's podcast the other day discussing how short term rentals do not have the same rules as long-term rentals when it comes to some of the tax laws around active/passive investing.

Also, I am so grateful for the Bigger Pockets podcasts and tools/resources because a lot of what I've learned or clarified has been from listening to you all.Thank you for your time, and I look forward to learning from or working with you all!

I've been listening to a lot of the podcast episodes and have been doing some reading as well.I'm very happy to get general input and advice, but I also have a few specific questions.- I've read about A, B, C, and D class properties. 

The other area I'd consider is Cleveland after listening to one of the BP podcasts and doing some research on that area.

Now, if you listen carefully you will find that he too found some of the same things that others mentioned...no deals in Austin, prices were too high...but then he adjusted his approach and nailed it!

For some context, I have been listening to Bigger Pockets for over a year now and have big ambitions to get into investing.
