Thank you for your warm welcome. 

I’m in NY so a lot of investors are itching to get out of here and retire to somewhere warm like FL.

Rent by the room is not for the faint of heart.

I can drop VRBO in a heart beat and it won’t impact my business. 

Example with zipcode 11203:  https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/11203/Then if the market temperature on this page says warm or hot, I'll look up a house I might want to buy in that zipcode.

It's not for the faint of heart.

People are starting to believe this global warming thing is actually changing weather patterns (even though they've been told for years it was going to happen) and I think you're going to start see migration.If they could fix the insurance rates, that would help stem some of the migration.

Warm regards,William AndersonGenAlpha3 LLCThank you Noah.

So, now I’m looking for advice on where a new investor should begin in this community—whether it’s podcasts, books, or even specific forums within BiggerPockets.I am really eager to learn, grow, make and learn from my mistakes, take calculated risks and in short dive into this whole heartedly. 

It can be a lucrative business opposed to the traditional LTR, but you definitely need to have your heart in the right place.
