I am excited about gaining more knowledge and deals! 

Well, i have lots of questions that I don't know where to start.

Because there is so many novices who jump into STR without the skill, knowledge, ability to actually operate it and rapidly are bleeding-out.

I live in Asheville as well, and am happy to help you kick around strategies.

Appreciate it @Mohammed Rahman decided to sell and move on to the next deal with more knowledge.

You will also likely be paying more than more experienced investors as you build your team and knowledge.

Set clear expectations with them upfront—weekly reports with photos, videos, or virtual walkthroughs work well.

Sometimes, it isn't the amount of time, it's the amount of knowledge and expertise. 

Hello Ryan,  can you please add me as well to the virtual meet up?

If you live there you probably have a good handle on the subtle market dynamics.One significant risk of buying any property out of state is that you have a lot less knowledge and first hand experience with all the nuances of that specific market.
