I would focus on being an agent and building that business.

Our team buys the properties and converts them and manages them so it has been a great learning experience seeing all three phases from taking down a project, renovating the building then managing the lease up.

Momentum builds over time, and I promise things will start falling into place.This year, I’m expanding into Columbus, Ohio!

Hi Anthony, it sounds like you’re in a good position to start building your STR portfolio, especially with no debt, great credit, and rent-free living!

Quote from @Leslie L Meneus: Building Connections & Looking for Guidance in Real EstateHi everyone!

I'm in Columbia, South Carolina by the way and no I'm looking to build in another city but in South Carolina.

@Robert Ellis Since you mentioned panels, have you looked into SIPs at all for your builds? 

I personally like to buy in towns/neighborhoods in which no new builds are possible within 10 miles because all the land is developed.

If you have a building background, I would work with an architect and build some unique places that are stick built to hold the equity value better.

It is hard work but a small team can build them pretty quick.
