There are many loan programs to help out first time homebuyers so don't feel as if this is too ambitious when there are tools to help you out, like use here on the Forum!

Happy to discuss if you feel the need.

If you have questions or simply would like to brainstorm ideas about cohosting, MTRs, or real estate investing from a regulatory standpoint, feel to reach out!

@Sino U. feel free to reach out with any questions.

Obviously if I intend to have a top performing STR in this market, my buy box will allow for a much higher max purchase price, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with shooting for the max if there aren't clear ways to beat these competing properties.

My wife and I feel real estate is a great catalyst to get us there.

Since it is easy to feel overwhelmed a coaching program provides a clear, step-by-step framework that helps you focus on what matters most.

That's why it's important to be confident in your team so you feel like everyone is working together towards a common goal (good investment for you, agent gets paid for their support). 

You can check tools like Niche, Roofstock, Zillow, or even just Google Maps can help you get a feel for neighborhoods and properties.
