I have some homes in Ft Lauderdale and excel in the Short Term Rental space. 

If you need a referral to an excellent agent who works exclusively with STRs in that specific market, I can refer ours  I'm an agent, but yes I am in contact w/ one out there familiar w/ STRs. thanks for asking. 

Milwaukee is an excellent market to get started in also. 

I have no debt, significant equity, good W-2, and excellent credit.

@Rene HosmanIf it’s too much to do in excel I have a bookkeeper handle it - now there are overseas companies that can be very cost effective as well.

It offers excellent potential for investors due to the multiple exit strategies available.

Does anyone have any excel/spreadsheet templates they use for organization and having a place where you store that budgeting and timeline information?

I want to scale, but not sure how to develop my strategy.I have a $200k HELOC and excellent credit worthiness and high income from my day job.

I stumbled on bigger pockets and was hoping to download those excel templates and to learn more about real estate.

Mentorship and joint ventures are excellent ways to gain experience, and it’s essential to start small, communicate clearly, and build trust.
