I'd like to join a group that shares experience and bounces ideas. 

I have experience investing in Historical properties, residencial and New construction.

I have not really seen any of the 100% lenders want to work with anyone that have very low experience and no money.

I learned a lot from hearing about other investors' experiences and most of them like to talk about what's worked or what hasn't gone well. 2) I watched YouTube videos from David Greene from BP and Coach Carson (along with many others).

Does anyone have any advice or can you connect me with a realtor who has experience in this area? 

Without experience, helping hands, professional help, or all of the above don't do this. 

STR's are one of the more popular forum topics and 'complicated' investment categories (especially for newbies) so I wanted to share some recent investor and operator experiences on the Oregon Coast and why a coastal STR vacation rental home is worth considering. - Feasibility & Permit-ability: If you know where to look you can still secure a STR permit in most cities or counties from Brookings to Astoria.

Bad experience.

Has anyone had experience with this or a similar company?

Just a couple scenarios from my personal experience:1) Sometimes I tend to pay only "statement balance".
