Within those cities, I am targeting assets in central business districts (CBDs) and popular entertainment areas where large amounts of people congregate daily. 

Start by networking with other investors on BiggerPockets who are active in those areas, and make a habit of browsing Zillow and other platforms daily.

We are seeing, right now, PayPal, Square, Grayscale, and the like, buying Bitcoin by the billions of dollars and buying ALL of the daily mined supply.

I've been reading every real estate book I can get my hands on and listening to podcast daily.

The good agents, PM's and lenders can pinpoint the risks and often do both in these forums and in their daily business but they are the minority (if you happen to have them in your rolodex,  hold on to those relationships, they will prove invaluable over time). 

It's different in Europe where they have more relaxed restrictions on alcohol in terms of age limits, having a beer during lunch at work, wine being less expensive and more prevalent as a daily drink, etc. and they also have a different culture around suing each other over silly stuff as well.

Its a tight market for sure but theres many good opportunities on a daily basis, hopefully you found something that fits your buying criteria in the time frame that this was posted.

This isn't STR, this is any form of investing or daily work(non REI related).

David Greene isn't plunging toilets or showing property to applicants.Too many investors get bogged down in the daily management of their rentals.

While personally I'm interested in growing my portfolio of mid-term rentals around the Raleigh Triangle market; Professionally I will be connecting with dozens of investors on a daily basis and would love to provide added value by offering access to a wide range of real estate support services.
