I am so grateful for all your answers.

In particular, if you are a new investor and you have experience with long-distance buy-and-hold properties, I would be very grateful to hear your story. 

Being on Queen St, you will likely have same-day turnovers and that's a lot of pressure if you try to clean on your own without having the extra hands that a cleaning company has.On the other hand, since the pandemic, STRs in Watauga have been doing really well and I'm personally very grateful that I started when I did.

Grateful for your journey!

You offered advice about how you managed to make it work and I would be grateful for any you see fit to pass along.

I'm retired and would love to come visit and maybe live there eventually, but most of all, I want to leave an inheritance for my kids.Have been considering this for some time, but it's hard to get started, so I will learn all I can and be very grateful for any advice and help along the way.Kind Regards,Grahame.

I am truly grateful and blessed to be in this position as sometimes I get the opportunity to see probate and foreclosed properties before they hit even the market.

If anyone can point us toward trusted contractors, lenders, wholesalers, attorneys, etc in the area, I’d be very grateful!

This is the first agreement that I will be putting together so any help or insight would be gratefully appreciated. 

I am very grateful that you took the time to send me such helpful resources!!
