Im taking on the world of wholesaling at the moment and I’d love to interact with you all and hopefully we can learn from each other !!

My initial research is focused on the towns of Phoenixville, Spring City, Pottstown, Reading, and Lancaster as well as several other small PA communities.I'm hopeful that interacting on the BP forums will allow me to make some connections with like minded investors in my area. 

Yes I do partner with a lot of clubs and bars so I do see my tenants at a concert or something time to time. and yes I do interact with them.

I’m more sensitive to this being an issue since I’d be house hacking, and will likely be interacting with neighbors on a daily basis

i know it has a bad rep locally for crime and what not but it cant be the whole county. i've looked at it geographically and its location to DC and Baltimore makes me think it should be a commuter location, but i've just never had any interactions with the county at all and know nothing about it. 

Zillow does it and charges them directly, and then I may ask additional questions about their application as needed.I put more stock in the gut feel I have in meeting folks during my open houses (always schedule people for a 1 to 2 hour time frame) and seeing their interest level, how they interact with me, etc.

Record all those interactions.

I am excited to embark on the journey that is Co-Hosting and looking for some advice :) Like I stated on the title above, I am a newcomer to the business, however, I am not new to the STR world as I have "as a hobby" booked, arranged, hosted, many stays for family and friends, and have interacted with some hosts and picked their brain about how the business works.

I have interacted with these professions a fair bit and find that generally speaking they have certain personality traits that I feel could make them difficult tennats.

So, start interacting with locals often, particularly property managers in your neighborhood.
