I was hoping someone with some experience would be able to answer a few questions I have, such as: What kind of deal finding strategies are most efficient in areas like these?

Hi there, I'm David Kanarfogel, an attorney based on Long Island with extensive experience across commercial real estate and CRE finance.

Your first year will be a learning experience, you will want to be close to the action, as you may not have the capital to pay someone to handle everything.

Events like this give the opportunity to meet and talk to investors from all over the country, doing different kind of investing, and with a varied amount of experience.

However, I haven't been able to find any official information confirming whether this is legal or if it violates any laws.I'm hoping someone here might have experience with this or know of a reliable source that can clarify the legality of contacting a tenant's commanding officer.

Having experience in so many parts of our process makes it easier to answer questions and uncover the motivations and expectations of investors.

Make sure the lender you choose has a strong background in this type of lending...check them out on Linked In to see their experience level.

My suggestion would be to buy a place to be a mid term rental and experiment with short term during the vacancy gaps. 

People love it, and for only $13, its worth the price of an enhanced guest experience and higher chance of a 5-star review.  

If anyone has any other tips and tricks or things they have learned through experience I would be happy to get your thoughts.
