Appreciate any feedback as well as similar stories that the community might be able to shareThanks and Happy New Years to all! 

My Property Manager isn't sure how to handle this, either, so I thought I would ask the community. 

It's nice to see the community showing support for STRs and pointing out that an STR doesn't solve any of the real problems.  

It is not very difficult or complicated to evaluate commercial real estate, there are plenty of good books available that can teach you how, textbooks, online courses, community college classes, even excellent youtube videos etc, and it is actually quite enjoyable in the process to learn.

Hi Alaina, welcome to the community! 

Quote from @Giovanni Rodriguez: Hi Biggerpockets community.

Hello BiggerPockets community!

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Hey Tanner, welcome to the BP community and congrats on your wedding and new journey into real estate!

Best bet though is a local community business bank..
