In addition to those I would also suggest making a commitment to going to local meet ups and networking events in your area.

To scale, replicate this winning formula in similar markets, optimize operations for Section 8 tenants, and consider networking with like-minded investors to uncover new opportunities and partnerships.

Also interested in networking to learn more about my personal interest in STR's primarily in the Tampa, Bradenton, and Sarasota markets along with other southeast coastal and mountain markets. 

NETWORK!!!

NETWORK!!!

Start small, refine your process, and use your network to connect with local investors and seasoned professionals for guidance.Good luck!

@Stacey OlsonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

From my experience investing in mid-tier and luxury hotels much larger is you need about 70% to make ends meet, you start getting happy about the investment about 80% and around 85-90% you fell like you are a genius. 

However, that same market segment usually isn't interested in larger houses, such as a 5 bedroom. 

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.
