I can't speak for STR as I don't specialize in that but I do have a client with a 5/3.5 STR close to downtown FTL and it is very BUSY so if you have the right type of property and location, you can do well in any market.

If you are looking to scale your portfolio, I am an agent finding investment property for clients throughout Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island..

@John Dawson the best thing I can recommend is 1.) find a mentor you get a long with who is willing to show you the ropes and just be willing to grind like your life depends on it.  1-3 years of that will set you straight, so long as you're putting your clients first, and doing a good job.  

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

I have a couple of prospect properties I would like to tour and get a better SOW for the Rehab, however because of the still someone hot market we are in realtors are not taking me serious as a potential client and tour the property without a preapproval letter, however the Hard Money Lender will not issue me a Preapproval letter until I get a better estimate of the SOW and come up with a plan on how I am going to do the project which I can't do without looking at the property first with a Realtor. 

Consider what client profile you would cater to and then see what properties that would attract that client trade for.

Outside of the opportunity to build my knowledge base on how things flow from an investment standpoint, I am given the opportunity to do something in advance before my clients.

Hey @Andy Singh - good question, I'd ask you the same thing I ask all my clients: what's your goal? 

What about you pursuing new clients at work?
