I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

The capital required for Denver, and limited cash flow makes it a tough market to get your next one.

Most on-market deals will likely not fit your investment criteria unless you allocate a substantial downpayment, often at least 30%-35%, or negotiate a price reduction that fits your requirements.Furthermore, while this is not the case for all metro ATL markets, my team and I typically see that a solid portion of the small multifamily space is comprised/orientated in neighborhoods of other small multifamily properties.

Delevan is a market where you will have to look at surrounding markets like Janesville, Elkhorn, and Darien to get your comps and rent information. 

No residual marketing and no marketing for each properties uniqueness.

So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.

Quote from @Devin James: We’ve slowly been improving our homes the more we’ve built and the more feedback we get from our Buyers2021 – Added 8ft doors throughout the home2022 – Added a new elevation with stone in the front of the home2023 – NO carpet in the bedrooms, LVP throughout the home2024 – Added hurricane impact windows & new color options2025 – Adding Ceiling FansGotta be open to feedback and adjust accordinglyThis can be the difference of your home sitting on the market for 4 months vs 1 month where's the modifications and pictures?

Does anybody invest in his market and if so what is the spring and summer like?

What type of marketing would you do ?

@Shane Regnier I've flipped a bunch of houses in Ocala but have yet to dabble in the rental market.
