Over the years I attended quite a few of these guru presentations always as friends' plus one guest. 

Is there a friend, family member, or colleague that has real estate investing experience?

@Scott Trench that's leadership my friend!

I’ve considered multifamily or duplexes, but from what I’ve heard, they’re unideal right now, so I’m leaning towards STRs.I’ve put together a list of areas that seem STR-friendly with good tourism appeal, and I’d love to get feedback from people who know the San Antonio market well.

Hey @Tre DeBragaI have clients curently looking for properties using 203k in the worcester area and have many friends who have used it to house hack.

Hi friends! 

I have friends in Alabama who are brokers and investors and they tell me it's a no brainer to get your license for the access and real-time info it gives you... but just want to cover the bases for Georgia in case it's different over here.

Quote from @Colby Burns: You can also partner with an Investor friendly Realtor who has a team of PMs, GCs etc for you.  

I have friends who have  LTR/STR and MTR is where I live.

The one thing to consider is that IL and NY are both not landlord friendly states.
