I'm looking to connect and network with other investors, contractors etc who have experience in this market. 

I'm relatively new to this and am grateful for any advice from the forum. 

Aside from my opinion, do the research, what do the #'s say.

This will give you a clearer picture of STR potential.Sounds like Johnson City is a hidden gem worth exploring!

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

Would love to hear the community’s thoughts—especially from experienced landlords, property investors, or those who’ve explored fractional real estate investing before!

What's peoples thoughts opinions on this real estate market over here?

I'm currently exploring opportunities in real estate, particularly in accounting roles.
