The only pro to launching a STR in SB county that comes to mind is that currently, I think we're reasonably safe from STRs being banned completely here, due to the fact that there aren't really enough hotels here to accommodate the 3 million annual visitors that come to the JT National Park.

There is so much more value I receive when I can help a fellow investor get launched and see them succeed and start stacking up more properties and trying different strategies along the way. 

Thankfully EXPI owns it (for now). eXp is aiming to compete with Zillow and Redfin.EXp Realty’s consumer-facing web portal is still likely a year or two way, but when the company launches it, Glenn Sanford, the CEO and founder of eXp World Holdings, believes the platform can compete with the titans of the space.Glenn Sanford | Photo credit: eXp World Holdings“Our goal to be able to compete head-to-head at the portal level on Google and the search engines with the likes of Redfin, realtor.com, Zillow and others and be able to build a lot of the consumer goodness that allows us to be there,” Sanford said, at Inman Connect Now, on Tuesday.

eXp does have a new ibuyer program being launched as we speak which will be in many major markets across the country with CA being the major one. 

It has paid of for the most part but I still fall into the "what if" way of thinking, but now I fulfill my love for all things aviation by watching all of the SpaceX launches :)

Struggling with how I will handle this as well as I approach my launch, and mine is a 2/1.

Hopefully the profits from that will launch me to where I want to go.

So glad you've discovered Bigger Pockets...sounds like you've got some great home remodeling experience that will benefit you in big ways when you launch this real estate career.A few tips that may be helpful to you here on the BP website:You can set up keyword alerts so anytime someone posts about Louisville or any of the other markets you're evaluating, you'll be notified.

You may know that but I don't want to make assumptions.Also maybe worth mentioning that @Brandon Turner and @Ryan Murdock are launching a fund soon and have begun marketing that a little.

The property far exceeded our projections by grossing $200k in its first full year after launch.
