All the heavy lifting is done for them...here you have had to to a ton of leg work....hope it works out well for you!

I really do think the best approach is to find someone to partner with and do the leg work for their capital contributions.Alternatively look to friends and family for cash contributions and form an LLC with them.

They had guys changing the meters around here that went to a two week class, and they had no clue.Pretty easy to lose a leg in an old meter socket that has been disturbed.

I can't remember where But I heard Anchorage is a 3 legged stool, Oil, Military, and Tourism (if I'm not mistaken).  

There is a local, free Orange County meetup that meets once a month primarily for networking.

I would like to find a partner that would fund a deal and I do all the leg work.

I am originally from Atlanta and the combination between the nature parks, cleanliness, and the friendliness of locals quickly convinced me to make the move more permanent in the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach markets.

In NJ, there is a great meet up called the NJ Flippers and Funders Meetup group that meets once a month in West Orange, NJ I believe.

Comparing an active business (ie. flipping houses) to a passive activity (long-term rentals) is an apples/oranges comparison.

A lot of military investors out there, you will have a leg up if you can get in touch with the base and directly provide housing for them.
