About 1.5 years ago I decided to move my 'office' into my living room and fully furnish my extra bedroom and bathroom for traveling students & professionals. 

I don’t really care about the training as I’m only really interested in having access to the MLS and saving commission on deals when I find them.Just wondering if there are any local options and maybe one brokerage to cover both New York and New Jersey.

If you have a problem pending... a camara won't mitigate your issue and a professional will want to scope it themselves anyway.  

Or is it something that guests won't appreciate or care about? 

Taking advice from experienced investors or real estate professionals can provide insights and guidance specific to your situation and local market.Good luck!

Again, be careful about purchasing a STR property in Wilmington with the anticipation that the rules have been stricken.

Really hot markets like Atlanta might still have some runway left before prices flatline or drop a bit but I would be careful of flipping in less hot markets right now.

Just noting that everything you wrote and have done so far is great - just be careful not to fall into the "analysis paralysis" trap and overthink before diving in! 

The company is growing, it’s got vibrancy, when you ICON the company gives you your cap back in stock, it is Agent owned so people care and it’s legacy wealth if you plan accordingly.

@Derik Hammer be VERY careful to properly understand your state laws!
