Due to horrible, and I mean horrible property managers in the area (the one known as being the best admitted to me she recently had an employee steal over a million from landlords and she didn't think it was her fault), I decided to hire a family member full time to start managing properties for me. 

I would also stay away from people just starting out, its hard being a 1/2 person operation with a low unit count.Best of luck!

Hey @Rebeca Enriquez,Congrats on starting you investing journey!

Then I started listening to BP podcasts and other real estate investing podcasts and became interested in investing the money we have to work for us.

A 1 bed room studio in a good area that is NOO STR eligible starts off at $600k. https://dlgoodmanproperties.id...In Davidson County a Short term rental is any rental agreement less than 30 days.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

Just started exploring what is available, prices, and rents.

You can start here to get some general guidance without having to jump on a call with anybody.  

If you are doing STR in Raleigh I would love to hear how you got started, how the cash flow is and any recommendations you can share that can help me get started.

A DIY way of starting your investigation is visit the building department and see if they have any records for the property on file.
