I feel like I have a strong grasp of the general knowledge needed for a first property, but I’d love to hear something different.

My wife and I feel real estate is a great catalyst to get us there.

Obviously if I intend to have a top performing STR in this market, my buy box will allow for a much higher max purchase price, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with shooting for the max if there aren't clear ways to beat these competing properties.

Feel free to PM!

Connect with other investors, agents, and property managers to get a feel for the area and learn from their experiences.Are you thinking about house hacking or just straight-up rentals for now?

I look forward to bringing a fresh perspective to this community—feel free to reach out if you'd like to grab coffee or lunch!

I do feel that rents are probably going to catch up over the next 3 - 5 years.

Let me know if you need any additional information, feel free to give me a call. 

That's why it's important to be confident in your team so you feel like everyone is working together towards a common goal (good investment for you, agent gets paid for their support). 

I truly feel bad for people who have to work instead of investing in real estate, especially those with kids.
