Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: I love Minoan and HostGPO also, but Minoan is free to use!

Feel free to reach out if you would like to connect, we have several STR in the area.

Free events or groups are preferred, as I feel the connections made are more genuine, but I am open to anything. 

Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to talk about the market in more detail. 

If you're targeting MFR properties in more affordable markets, these options could free up the funds you need without disrupting your cash flow too much.

Mine was also out of state, in a town I’d never visited, and I relied heavily on videos from my agent.This sounds like a tough first deal, but it seems like you have some capital on the side, which will be useful as you face the upcoming challenges and learn from those expensive early mistakes.Regarding the subject of this post, “help me adjust my expectations,” I’d recommend assuming that; repairs will cost twice as much as you estimate, maintenance and vacancy rates will likely double from your initial projections, there’s a very real chance you may lose money on this deal.That said, there are ways to mitigate these risks by:- Keep asking questions here on BP and connecting with local experts- Stay proactive and communicative with your agent and property manager.And remember “Inspect what you expect.”Im not trying to discourage you but to help reset your expectations.

Focus on driving for dollars during free time, and set up automated mail campaigns to keep leads flowing.

Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear your story and see how we can grow together!

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.
