The washed-up English language teacher part of me continues to insist that the proper name of this site should be "Deeper Pockets," following the time-tested collocation.

Love to network and plan on diving into investing by early spring time.

Hello fellow BP bloggers,Brief background:I am relatively new to the real estate world, and have decided to dive head first not only with investing but also with changing my professional career. 

The deeper question/scenario is.... have you ever managed an STR?

Do you suggest maybe starting in a smaller market and fine tuning my strategy before diving back into the lucrative world of REI that is California?

Obviously I’ll start reading book, networking and doing extensive research before diving out.Financing?

It takes planning, asking questions, and then diving in.

The question is great but no one dig deeper to the number.

I am sure I will learn a lot from my broker when I choose the right one but in the meantime I really want to dive in and get all my ducks in a row, but I am having trouble finding that information.

I am looking to gain a deeper understanding for the causes and to see if my home market may or may not be on the same path...Thanks in advance!
