If those 4 are helping you makerent I think it will not matter to the underwriter. 

@Okey Lawrence  TREIA, Triangle Deal Maker Sessions, and a monthly Bigger Pockets get-together --that's a good combo of ways to cross paths with other investors in the area.

My goal is to accelerate this work and make real estate investing my primary income.

It even has pool and an indoor Hot tub.

I was hoping to make real estate a career and not just another one of my investments.

The Poconos have ski resorts, indoor waterparks, lots of lakes, cute small towns and lots of outdoor activities like white water rafting and hiking.

It seem 2 (Stephen and Robert) think leverage is needed to make real money as a landlord.

I don't necessarily want to make real estate investing my fulltime career, but a very lucrative side hustle to my own business in holistic wellness and urban farming.In 2009, I WAS looking to make real estate investing my fulltime career, mostly as a wholesaler but I've since realized that I do not have a passion for that particular niche, but I do love the flexibility, cash flow, and wealth creation that building a healthy property portfolio provides.At any rate, I look forward to FINALLY engaging with people on the forums, learning, DOING, and sharing with others.

If you can, try to buy a place with some value add potential, or with something that will make it stick out from the rest of the short term rentals in the area (biggest difference maker is a view).

I can't believe the number of people that freak out over a mouse.Set traps inside to catch any mice already indoors.
