This where I personally would start.Feel free to connect with me.

I work in property management software so I often talk to property managers and investors across the country about their strategies and experience with investing in their areas.... but for our first (few) investment properties, we'd like to stay within driving distance (currently live in Quincy, MA). 

2) Re the flip, Do you have any experience in construction, or dealing with contractors, as well as your local building department?  

For those who have explored or utilized such financing options, what has your experience been like?

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I have a couple partners that looking to get started in the REI world but don't have a lot of experience. 

How much free time do you have and how much more investing could you be doing with it?

Digest the immense free info. out there and jump and in do a small deal by yourself, it will be a great teaching experience. 

I am interested in connected with anyone with experience of the market.

I have a few questions: Does anyone have any experience with STR in lake Geneva and how are your occupancy numbers in the Summer vs winter?

I find myself short on experience and capital.
