Should I focus on a market in-state or look elsewhere?

I'm thinking that I need to buy soon while it's a buyer's market and refi when rates go down - am I thinking about this the right way?

I would love someone who is an active real estate investor and is trained in tax strategy (not a requirement but the more first hand knowledge the better) Anyone got any recommendations for me?

In today's fast-paced real estate environment, having a flexible strategy is key to growth.

The biggest issue I run into is that the minimum loan amount is too high for most markets in our state.

Can any builders/developers share their experience getting started or which route is best to take in the current market?

Hi Tyler,To network with tax professionals in the Rhode Island area who better understand your short-term rental (STR) business, I recommend starting with local real estate meetups.
