There's a mix of younger professionals drawn to the tech and education sectors, as well as retirees attracted to the area's mild climate and cultural attractions.2.

To me the biggest takeaway is that as real estate professionals, we always talk about location, location, location.

Make sure to prepare a professional proposal, highlight your STR track record, and be transparent with your financial projections.

We have a wide range of investors and RE professionals join us.

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck! 

Not a ton of young professionals except in government roles (Carson City's largest employment option), or if they want a slower pace but are still willing to commute to Reno. 

I learned how to maintain a home, work with real estate professionals, contractors, interview prospects, etc.

The marketing copy and photo captions, professional photos, and weekly activity on the OTA listing, makes a big difference in bookings.

You lose all of the control and these are long term investments - but in my experience the returns match what I had on the active real estate and I am hiring professionals to manage the assets.  

It's always inspiring to see fellow real estate professionals who are passionate about learning and sharing insights.Phoenix is a vibrant market with plenty of opportunities.
