Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.

Even when the market is down, gradually adjust rents so tenants don’t experience a huge price shock later.

Buy in Q4 when market is soft.

Im not familiar with your specific market but if you have not checked out the events section I would start there. 

The more people you meet the more you'll recognize the ones doing what you'd like to do and you can start learning to how to provide value to them / find them deals maybe.It's a tough market and unless you are providing value to an investor it's not going to be as easy as finding someone to shadow, i don't think.

From both a real estate and STR perspective, the key to success will be choosing the right market first.

I don't think there is a market for that personally. land development is done on a very local basis and isn't a service many CRE brokers use.

I look every day for off market houses to flip.
