Wanted to connect with others doing business in the area to keep up-to-date on the market, as I'm from out-of-state.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Quote from @Jordan Ornelas: My name is Jordan and I live in Lynn Haven, FL (Panama City).

Know what you're getting into beforehand and know that things could change over time to become less favorable to STRs.At the state level, there are currently no restrictions on STRs, but that could change.

Also potential appreciation is important to investigate.For myself in my state it has made little sense to Chase turn key or cosmetic properties. 

Keep an eye on city plans and big projects that could change home prices.

Again as stated, use this template and see just how accurate it is.

Have done tons of research into taking loans etc, but probably settling on getting 20% DP and 6 months worth of monthly costs (maintenance/mortgage/utilities).Started looking to my state laws and saw I need 3 years experience to even get a MN broker license and was wondering how I should go about that.Does that mean I have to sell houses or is there a way to become an employee under an existing property manager?

We've had 2 tenants with TRA and as the name clearly states, it's temporary.

For most of the country it is the winter months Jan - Mar but in the warmer state it isn't as drastic.
