Aside all that, as others mentioned, you didn't lend enough info to give any specific answer to your specific situation.

I can't add a lot of advice to the specific strategy, but I would urge you to focus on simplicity.

@Nathaniel Floyd thanks for your insights and giving a specific market to look into.

Very neighborhood specific. 

This post is about standard deviations of a sub-set as a result of a specific change in the local  economy. 

I do not know this one specifically but most courses and coaches online are a borderline scam.Couldn’t agree more.

The motivation is not necessarily to scale into larger opportunities but rather to achieve better balance and also optimize the performance of the projects and types of projects I currently pursue.I have no shortage of individuals who possess specific skill set who would want exclusive rights to that particular service vertical in return for contributing capital and a partnership interest (construction background and wants to take over all construction duties or someone who is a sales broker and wants to list all of the properties etc.)

@John Lasherjust curious what specifically you're looking to do - GP or LP? 

And, many agents that I have dealt with won't do much more than ask you what neighborhoods you like and setup MLS notifications when a property with your criteria comes up.  

Have you taken the time to search AirBNB and VRBO in those specific areas to see how many STRs are operating?
