Thought I could set up an SDIRA and use this to get started.

I am just starting out and have 1 STR.Would love hear the pros/cons that you took into consideration when deciding how you want to manage your STR.

@Melissa Sejour Its a great question we all had starting out.

You learn what you can as quickly as possible, and start implementing.

we ran into this in FLA  a few years back when I had 4 starts and I exited that market.. permits  sub base all pretty tough for someone who is not there and already knows the systems hands down and has a devoted loyal sub base.. thats the key in my mind.

They started with 2 properties and are now at 15+...I would suggest you staet with a great property manager and go from there.

I think I'm going to Start with Baselane.

I'd start with filling out your profile here a bit more- we can't tell what market you are in. 

Get a stable income, job and start with going the simple route.

This is a group of MTR investors who have small to medium portfolios, but we welcome new investors who are just starting out as well.
