Seeing how you want to work for multiple people, a brokerage licence is required.

There is demand for it and demand in this area for affordable housing, in a tourist area where plenty of people have vacant, second/third homes for seasonal fishing and hunting.

You might want to find local rei meetups to meet people in your market that are doing deals. 

In my experience, the best thing to do is warn people over and over again.

Looking to invest specifically in luxury beach rentals, so would love to connect with other people in that space (agents, lenders, etc). 

"I know far too many people who regret selling real estate looking back 20 years, but I've yet to come across one who regrets keeping it."

I’m especially interested in learning from those with experience in more expensive housing markets and from people who used really estate as a way to invest for their kids' colleges.

These homes are what most people picture as “home” and lend themselves well to coliving strategies.

My buddy just got burned by someone borrowing from multiple people where the others weren't aware of each other and they thought they were the only one lending, etc.It all comes down to how well you REALLY know each person in the deal, and then, "do you REALLY know them?"  

We often advise people to house hack when getting started and you are a real success story!
