Hey, feel free to reach out--there are a few I would recommend. 

I would definitely recommend reading J.

I WOULD NOT recommend doing something like bringing to their (Fire dept, building/ planning or any other governing agency) attention your STR rezs.

I'd recommend getting a 3-4 unit property for your first deal, living in one of the units for at least a year.

Please recommend someone who can help me with this new property.

If you can handle that kind of discomfort, I'd recommend moving to an emerging market and house-hacking (that's what I did).

Would you recommend that?

sometimes to reduce borrowing costs, I'll use a hard money loan solely for the purchase, and then pay for the rehab in cash or use a 0% credit card (I don't recommend that for new investors!)

This is something you can't always know before you start...he came recommended by others.

I would highly recommend doing some deep diligence not just ordinary on any syndication you enter, or note fund you enter.
