Thanks for the information & suggestions Garrett.

Any other automation tools you suggest ? 

I’d suggest chatting with your friend about what’s been working for him, and maybe ask for some recommendations on building a solid local team3.

That’s a great suggestion, and I had not thought of it.

Any suggestions on where to look other than the facebook outreach I've been doing?

In short, having all the conversations and commitments in strategy, setting up LLC and all the fun docs of who's doing what, and I'd suggest even getting initial funding into account for at least EM. 

I would suggest focusing on Norfolk over Portsmouth,  its a better market with more appreciation. 

This is defined as 30 days or more, and you will easily find nurses, professors, students, and more than need a 1-3 month airbnb.Speaking of, you could rent the whole space mid-term - and I suggest through airbnb or VRBO but you don't have to use those.

I would suggest coming to some investing meet ups and just start talking to others and form a plan based off of that.

They might have suggestions or updates that could help with this specific issue.
