.: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: having been a back room vendor for Montelongo  Vertucci  rich dad poor dad.I got to interact with hundreds of students.. its like anything RE related only a little worse than say RE agents .. 20% of RE agents make 80s of the income

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Are there team members (RE agents, wholesalers, lenders, PMs, contractors, etc) you'd recommend?

Talk to a top commercial agent for more insight...

It is entirely possible to self-manage with a strong cleaning team.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.

STRs also avoid automatic classification as passive if rented for seven days or fewer per tenant.To maximize tax benefits, maintain detailed logs of all hours worked on activities like tenant communication, cleaning, maintenance, and marketing.

I've talked to two local agents about possible price points to list at, but it almost seems like they are pulling numbers out of a hat.

If not, I can put you in touch with an investor friendly agent in the area who can help.
