Look up properties for sale or lease and identify the most active Realtor for that city, for your type of development property. 

While no cycle is exactly the same, they are fueled by the same human activities and psychology.

It's completely up to you... but keep in mind that just becuase it's on the lease, does not make it right nor does it make any investment sense.... it may be completely situational dependent.

I have another GC in mind from a friend who is also an investor.

I have outlined some details below and would appreciate any insight.Our background:  We flipped properties from 2018-2022 and are still licensed general contractors and real estate agents, but have not been very active in either the last two years as we both took W2 jobs in 2022. 

In my mind, a good STR manager is part marketer, part hospitality host, part project manager, and understands the investment side as well.

More on that later.REALITY differs SO MUCH from the simple minded nonsense put out by these mentorship programs!  

Please share any great data sources you have found or tips on evaluating areas.My 1-year goal is to purchase 3 multi-family properties, with 8 to 40 units, at least $5000/month of initial cash flow, and some opportunities to improve operations and increase cash flow.I am hoping to forge alliances with like-minded investors to fund Win-Win deals.I am so excited that I have officially started my RE Investing journey!

I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a fresh addition to this incredible group of like-minded individuals.

While you can’t completely control who applies to live in your properties, you most definitely can find areas that are popular with students, young professionals, families, etc. 4) just as important as finding the property, you need to have an exit strategy in mind for the property.
