Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community.

I feel you because I'm actively looking for my first house hack in a competitive market. 

Feel free to ask me anything or send me a message!  

Once you feel you've built a strong team with your first property, I would start buying more aggressively and taking on bigger projects.

Thanks @Sarah KensingerAlon we have spoken before - feel free to shoot me an email anything Tampa related :)

@Marius FleischerYou will have 50% of people tell you that you should invest there and 50% say otherwise or provide areas they feel are betterEach area has positives and negatives - my recommendation is to visit each of these areas then shortlist them and continue to figure out where to invest

Feel free to revisit any sections where you feel less confident.

We have a hard copy guidebook and the guests use it.My 2 cents,Mike

Recently we actually had a guest who was part of spring training - he wanted his girlfriend to stay in one of our resorts, so she would have access to the amenities while he was off training.

Feel free to connect with me and I will lend you my expertise with investment real estate.
