Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

If you are backing out of Florida because the properties aren't doing as well you like, why would you look for more units in a similar area and think the numbers will work there?

I listened to all the previous hearings and the general sentiment was acknowledging that STRs are critical to the area's massive tourism industry and just banning them is not wise for the local economy.

If I were new I would simply stick to areas close to where I live.

For example, if the property you are buying is a development property, like a small house with a large lot in a developing area, then a small negative cash flow could be okay if you can carry it.

My name is Paul Hearn, and I am a new real estate agent in the Memphis area with a burning desire to work with investors that are wanting to grow their portfolios in Memphis and the surrounding areas.

Hotels and hospitality are a super interesting sector to me.

As a newbie, I’d love to connect with local investors and agents to learn more about the area and refine my plan.

Any luck on motivating realtors in the area to actually get operating expenses/lease agreements for Jackson County specifically George?

The other site that I would be looking at is meetup.com as well, they have a lot of meetups in your area that you can attend to get in front of people doing the stuff you want to be doing.
