@Nathan M kieferIf you are getting $400k in W-2 income, unlikely you will qualify as a real estate professional unless: (1) you have equity in the company and its in an industry that allows you to qualify as real estate professional; or (2) you have a spouse that qualifies.

Exploring wholesaling and land investing is a great way to break into the industry, and your focus on value-adding strategies and modular housing shows you’re thinking creatively about how to address market needs.Your entrepreneurial background in auto detailing will definitely serve you well in real estate, especially with your attention to detail and perseverance.

I guess tourism is an important enough industry there that while they need to limit the short term rentals for local residents, they also need them to provide lower price points for visitors. 

Santarelli as an absolute industry expert (podcast, websites, press, social media advertisement) cause investors to have a false sense of security.

Dave Van Horn, his partners, and his staff are some of the best in the industry.  

BP is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest in your backyard, it helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can.

Some of us in the industry are fighting to help with that for the limited partner, and hopefully that comes to fruition in the near future.  

Good morning Sandhya,I have been a part of NARPM for many years and Highly recommend joining the group if you plan on becoming an expert in the Property Management industry. 

I look forward to connecting with everyone to grow my knowledge of the industry and help others with questions should they fall in my area of expertise.

In real estate (and probably other industries) this is referred to as a Single Purpose Entity, and it's usually a smart move.
