I would love to connect with local wholesalers who source in Birmingham and other cities in Alabama. 

Not sure if its the same in Tampa but there are some great Facebook groups here in my local area.

For plans that will pay off later, get into house hacking, save money for a first payment, meet people in local real estate groups and find a mentor, and put money into things that earn without much work like stock index funds or ETFs.

Deals don't make sense unless you do something crazy like put 8 students in a single family :)  Yes I spoke with my local bak loan officer the other day and he said they are doing zero loans to finance purchase of rentals right now because the numbers don't work. 

Keep steady and stick with it, using plans like looking at local buzz and keeping an eye on road projects, to help grow home values.Thanks!

To actually have a sober house successful where she can guide and assist everyday to that person to be successful and to help them navigate the area they're in have an assistance of a driver to get the people to the places they need to get to on a daily basis and a structured plan that they have to do and figure out to get everything done that they need to get done and to also get a job and become successful sober houses will allow you to leave the house for the weekend or allow you to not be there consistently and you have a lot of freedom but if you don't have any support and you have no resources and you have no money and you have no phone it's a setup for disaster because you have too much time on your hands and no organization no guidance 12 step programs and AANA are all a good thing if the person can do that route but a person like me found the depression and repetition of using through stories and that wasn't my way to stay sober and to stay on a lane of being a successful citizen again...

Maybe you could contact a local STR management company and work for them for free to get some idea of what is to manage a STR.

This week my community is having a meeting at a local coffee shop to get to know the neighbors.

They require a lot more hands on care and this could put extra stress on you if you are not local.

If you check their websites they may give local agents contact info.
