I have been listening to the podcast for a few months now and watching the "Real Estate for Rookies" YouTube show and I've been learning and also reading different books on real-estate investing.

It would be a good way to start networking.

Quote from @Timothy Villa: Hey Everyone, I am very to to real estate investing and trying to learn about many of the different strategies.

I only invest in my home market.

But I’m thinking of getting into STR investment and become more active.I’m a complete newbie to short-term rentals (STRs) and eager to wet my feet in this area.

REI is filled with lots of shiny objects and you will success stories from all these different investing methods and it can be hard to stick to a path.

I would consider selling one of the properties, paying off the debt, creating a reserve for your remaining investment, and ensuring you are 100% financially stable before you invest again.
