I introduced them to a mid-sized brokerage in the area (from what I’ve heard, they’re picking up steam) who specialized in finding off-market opportunities that don’t get plastered all over Zillow.

A lot of this process depends on your laws regarding STR and Mid term leases/occupancy?

I'm looking locally to start out (mid size city in North Carolina) - is the answer a different market?

Even small to mid sized ones 20-75 guests will bring in serious money.

Oakland, Berkeley, San Diego the rules will likely be, or has already been,  changed mid game so the 15 year limit is not reality.  

@Mary Lopez I'm also a California resident investing the mid west. 

I have an event coming up in November for private money lenders (one for passive PMLs who are doing it as a side hustle and one for experienced small- to mid-sized PML business owners) in Las Vegas.

Strategies like furnished mid-term rentals, renting by rooms, mid-term/short term rentals or creative mixes of these can be considered too.

The rental market in the mid to higher price range is a bit lacking so having a rental in that range should go quickly.

I am very committed to investing in a multi family building this coming year.I also feel the need for a mastermind group and will be doing a google search for one around me for multi long/ mid and short term investing.Cheers, just wanted to put an update on here!
