I am looking to connect with local (to myself) investors who have made the leap out of state. 

Yes, the entire greater economy as a whole affected by this, with this housing just one sub-part of it, would be another large contentious topic taking entire books... 

Networking, local meetups, door knocking, mailers, wholesalers, online forums specific to your area of interest.  

I am on the board of CFRI, our local REIA and I know we have dozens of agents and investors that have their license if only to list and buy their own properties, but could recommend some to you. 

Starting with the Right PropertyGiven that this is your first STR and you’re planning to manage remotely, I’d suggest focusing on a market with a strong local infrastructure for short-term rentals—like Panama City Beach or Destin.

Looking good! Are you taking advantage yet? 

DSCR recently came popular in the loan brokerage and private credit space with the rise of STRs and MTRs.Your local bank lenders will have the best rates typically.  

For example, I’m in Orlando and CFRI is the local club.

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?
