I also own a water restoration and general maintenance business in the area and the amount of STR owners that we have spoken with is insane.  

There are easily 5-6 meetings per week you can go to and learn from people who have been in this business for decades.

Such a solid investment for any SoCal people looking for some cheap cash flow.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

Also to network and learn from like minded people.

Incredible lessons learned on how detailed the city of Bellaire requirements are, working in the floodplain, balancing multiple projects and scaling the business.

I'm from the Southern, MI area and I am also building my real estate media business, Elicit Real Estate Media Co. 

Throughout my career, I have consistently conducted business with integrity, transparency, and the utmost professionalism.

Quote from @Michael K Gallagher: Quote from @A Rao: I invest in land and have done entitlement/zoning and other DD work successfully for years.A broker called me this morning on a property I have on a busy interesection and has a QSR client who likes the location, but does not want to do a ground lease, only a build to suit. 

They eventually sold their business to another company and things were fine after that.All the others were easy.If you are going to switch, you might want to try that after a resident moves out.
