Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.

We host a free real estate meetup the first saturday of every month if you are interested in coming and meet some awesome real estate investors who are looking to do their first deal to savy seasoned investors.

Does anyone have any experience regarding Multi Family Wealth Nation's course, resources, or meet-ups?

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions. 

It got me thinking:In your opinion, what are the minimum requirements someone should meet before raising money from investors (beyond family and close friends)?

Specifically:Licensed and Insured Contractors:Strong experience in fix-and-flip projects is preferred.Proven track record for meeting deadlines and staying within budget.Interested in building a long-term working relationship.Real Estate Agents:Knowledgeable about properties in Chattanooga and surrounding areas.Skilled in identifying high ROI opportunities for fix-and-flip projects.Open to partnering with an investor for repeat business.If you or someone you know is a great fit, please comment below or send me a direct message.

I’ve seen folks pivot their plans quickly if they discover one city has friendier permit processes than another.Great to meet you @Christopher Jennings - I see that Pat has already commented, she's a fantastic resource to have in your new backyard.

This would not meet the 3X monthly rent rule at $1,000 a month.

Please schedule a meeting with me by visiting CityStructure's website under the "Contact Us" page. 

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.
