I'm looking to connect with local investors and agents to help with the obstacles that come from investment in rural areas.

(Finance guys, chime in here if I'm off in my assessment)I haven't been able to convince myself to take that kind of hit yet even though I can get 100%+ ROIs on my BRRRRs. 

The biggest obstacle for me is that I am not exactly sure how to get market cap rates for a certain area as there is no data on sold apartment complexes that I can find, along with not having the funds and not knowing enough to bring a deal to someone who can provide the funds.

I've done some creative financing, sorta house-hacking, and reno/refi with primary residences, but still trying to find a path to my first true investment property.  Affordability is a big challenge in the bay area bu...

I would never stay in a hotel again except for a couple things.....1) There are no STRs in the area where I want to stay 2) The hotel may have a pool/spa when I'm traveling to a hot area 3) I want a luxury resort type of stay with swim up bars, massages, etc...I travel almost monthly and I find that STRs are still less expensive than hotels.....getting closer to even , but still less expensive...but you still get so much more....a kitchen for sure, close private parking, maybe a yard....as more people realize the inherent advantages of STRs, I think they will become even more popular.....

We have a duplex further North that cash flows well, but it is in a very small market so there are more inherent risks and few larger unit properties. 

I find a lot of people just assume that since they inherently trust their friend/family member, a lot of the "what ifs" and worst-case scenarios are not hammered out in fine detail which can lead to confusion and personal interpretation after the deal is closed, which it should have been addressed pre-emptively before the money was lent out.
