The people that will suffer the most from a bad economy will be renters.

So I will be mainly focusing on South Florida where I have people, resources, and experience.

Depending on the type of commercial you want to get into my suggestion is to go work for a company that does commercial real estate as learning from people who do it and getting paid at the same time is not a bad strategy 

Where people are still normal and you can evict tenants but generally you don't have to because people pay their bills here.  

What’s your process for vetting and selecting the right people for your team?

Many people miss out on things like this because they simply are not aware of these options.

I'm going to buy my first property within the next couple of months and I'm curious about how people manage their properties when they are not within a driveable distance of them.I understand they have property managers but where do you find them?

Another thing to add is the regulations, HOAs and Cities are imposing a lot of regulation on short-term rentals or rent by a room, I have seen some HOAs regulate the amount of people authorized to rent the property too.It requires to do a lot of due dilligence to begin with mainly in such big house. 

It’s a great way to meet people who are actually doing deals and can share what’s working for them.Also, build a solid team.

I think you have the basics of meeting partners and people to work with in your local market and seem to be well on the way with two deals going already so big congrats there!
