I would spend some time with some great general contractors and architects in your area to see if it's a profession you'd truly be passionate about...if not then don't waste your time!

Communities like these are terrific, but I feel getting out and actually meeting and getting to talk to other passionate people in real estate would help immensely.

I’m passionate about real estate investing (i think) and interested in saving up for my first short term rental property. 

I found myself attending in-person networking almost weekly prior to the pandemic, but we live in a different world, and the digital shift has made it harder.Currently looking for personal investment deals in the area, and also passionate about connecting other local investors with trusted service providers.

I'm Brian from Loves Park, Illinois, passionate about real estate investing for a few years (its waxed and waned) because of family and work commitments.

I'm Shane Dreffs from Birmingham, AL, passionate about real estate investing for years.

He is graduating but not with the degree that I felt could be a passion and not a degree worth much.  

I'm Sivakumar Anna from Fremon, CA, passionate about real estate investing for few years.

I have a lot of confidence that if I was starting today with same passion and work ethic that I had a 20 years ago, I could hit same level of success as I achieved.  

If you are interested in growing your STR portfolio or anyone in your network is looking to invest in an STR, I’m actually selling my beachside condo in Daytona Beach (official STR zoning) to pursue new ventures on the west coast.Can send you the listing in a private message .Keep up the great work and that passionate, fire energy!!!
