I am eager to get my feet wet in the real estate world, just not exactly sure where to start.

I am a firm believer that you have to live there and offset your prop tax's with zero income tax and of course be a local and self manage. then to me its like any other market in the country basically..

They can handle bookings, cleanings, and guest communication, so you’re not always on call.Also, keep in mind that some areas have specific rules and regulations for short-term rentals, so make sure you understand what’s allowed in any location you're considering.It’s great that you’re eager to learn, and with the right strategy, STRs can definitely help you gain more freedom.

I'm always eager to connect with new people, and we currently manage many properties in the KC area.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Our firm is based out of Beaufort, SC and we host a monthly Real Estate Investor Network. 

I’d recommend reaching out to a local architect or design-build firm who has experience with both home additions and ADU construction to help bring your vision to life.

Be excited and eager to learn, as even a small win builds confidence for future investments.Good luck!

I’m a first time investor and eager to just connect and hear about how you got started.Background: full time remote employee in the advertising industry.

If I were you, I would be firm with needing rent more timely, I would still contact the male because she can't kick him off the lease, and I would have a conversation with her along the lines of "this is clearly not what either of us signed up for, is clearly not working, and what can we do to get you to a lower cost living situation as soon as possible?"
