I’m not looking to be an active/public realtor, just need a place to hold my license.For context, I currently hold an active HI real estate license in good standing and have strong networks on both Molokai and Maui.

Although I haven’t received an acceptance yet, I’ve been actively sending out LOIs to property owners.I’m aiming high with my first acquisition because I’ve heard many investors wish they had gone larger at the start.

To leverage the STR loophole, ensure active participation in managing the property.

In fact, many, though not all, of these “experts” are washed up and no longer active in the market.

There are a lot of active agents in Columbus on here.

These expenses can create a paper loss, which may offset other passive income or carry forward to future years.If you qualify for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or actively manage a Short-Term Rental (STR), the losses can be applied against your active W-2 or business income, reducing your overall tax liability.

I’m Daniel Vargas, and I'm well experienced in Real Estate wholesaling, While I can’t promote my company directly, I’m looking to connect with cash buyers in the South Florida markets such as Palm Beach, Miami, and Broward, I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully built relationships with investors there.• What strategies or platforms have you found most effective for connecting with them?

Are there specific advantages or potential pitfalls I should consider when structuring these activities through my LLC?

This is often more difficult to find but one strategy would be to talk with STR investors who are active in the market there. 

In the meantime though, I'd try to just actively build your platform here on Bigger Pockets and just casually connect with people.
