Hey Deirdre,To address your questions:Providing freedom by handling day-to-day operations.Offering peace of mind through proactive maintenance and tenant communication.Reducing risks by staying ahead of legal requirements, tenant screening, and dispute resolution.Enhancing the bottom line by identifying cost-saving opportunities while ensuring tenant satisfaction to reduce turnover.Is the experience still important when the property thrives financially?

The more properties you walk and the more industry conversations you have, the better you’ll get at identifying these opportunities.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

I don't like the search function.

Hey @Isaiah Cortez, here are the deets on STRs via the city - https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/government/departments-a-h/de...I don't have any real insights on the area, but do a search and you will find some details.

I did a quick search and there are 187 total rental listings in Marion Oaks in the last 90 days. 90 are vacant listings, 18 canceled, 70 that have leased, and 4 pending. 

Some investors thrive in these situations, while others prefer clearer paths to ROI.Before proceeding, consult with a real estate attorney and conduct a title search to uncover any surprises.

Sometimes you can find firsthand experiences that don't show up immediately in basic searches.3.

A slightly higher upfront cost in a better area will likely yield better tenants and less hassle over time.Investing in McKinney is a great decision, but working with someone local who understands the nuances of the DFW market can help you identify the best opportunities.
