@Austin Salgado Check out the event I'm hosting in Oceanside on August 6th in the BiggerPockets event section.

Funny enough, the golf course is the host of the major university's golf club. 

it allows me to be on all the listing sites and have a hosted website and it handles payments and getting guests to sign my rental agreement and automate a lot of guest Communications.

We host a monthly meeting in West Melbourne. 

I interviewed a host from Kingwood and they did well with a larger home but without as many amenities. 

I also had a local host “book” a zero day stay, so he could tell me he’s being fined $5000 for having no short term license, and he wants to join together to fight “the man.” 

I host a free one in Oak Park on the last Tuesday of each month.

Regardless- yes, most of the inventory on our MLS is not going to cash flow at 20% equity position, and with a median home price of $400,000, $50k won't get you a whole lot.Some of the outlying areas like Fallon have much better CAP rates but definitely aren't as viable for long-term appreciation.I actually have this report from our local association of realtors with all the market details hosted in my google drive if you want to check it out.monthlyreport

As for podcasts, look for the ones hosted by these folks:1) Jake&Gino2) Michael Blank3) Rod Khleif4) Joe Fearless 5) John CasmonThere's plenty more, but these will give you a good head start. 

Please let me know as I'm always looking for more networking opportunitiesA Quick search on Meetup shows that we both missed a open house showing that was hosted by a flipper.
