I just wish the traffic wasn't so bad. 

My only concern is the short-term rental market, where there’s a slight oversupply, but aside from that, everything else is on solid footing.

Most homeowners shift to winter rentals during those months to keep some cash flow.If you’re planning to use the property yourself for two weeks in the summer, it’s important to keep in mind that it will take away a significant chunk of prime revenue, which will make it harder to break even or generate solid income.If year-round traffic is a key factor for you, you might want to look into areas down south or near a National Park, but with the right property and strategy, Cape Cod can still be a good investment—especially if you’re looking to have something to enjoy and eventually leave to your kids. 

If anyone has any advice or can point me to a portion of this forum that would help me get my footing, I would greatly appreciate it!

Those zones tend to be along busy traffic corridors.

And I definitely don’t need to get off on the wrong foot with my first rental.

Just buy your first rental as a house hack to get your foot in the door and get some operational experience owning/ operating Multi-family.

Then decides who he is going to assign to fulfil those parts- such as the six foot fence, and the security guard company. 6 foot fence rental can be expensive, security guards 24 hours a day can be expensive also, and on top of the contractual requirement, some security guard companies will require two or three guards on your site plus a supervisor visit due to its remote location or fear of the guards of the local bad guys.

The amount of direct flights has been increasing as there is more and more traffic.  

I wanted to introduce myself as I am incredibly anxious to step foot into the incredible world of REI and would love to know if there are any local investors that meet/would like to meet on a semi-regular basis.I currently have a full time job in outside sales in the Arvada area so I do a lot of driving around which enables me to spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts and educating myself but I would love to get to know some players within my local area to really dive deep into the subject and in which I could potentially be of value in the future.
