Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.

Good luck with your journey :)

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.

My wife and I are from Toronto, Canada, and we're excited to start our journey into the Indiana real estate market.

We are excited to be a part of your investing journey to help you reach your goals. 

Looking forward to sharing my journey and learning from your experiences.
