This hands-on approach enables me to obtain useful information, allowing me to make informed judgments and alter my investment strategy as needed.Analyzing these precise elements of a property gives me vital information about its potential.

So I got licensed, really liked it and started a team, a YouTube channel and I am on the board of a local REIA.

STR’s are not allowed in our neighborhood unfortunately. 

If you build a solid team and listen to them you'll be fine.

This is in addition to cost savings.My thought coming in is that if I do want to eventually have my own team, wouldn't it be beneficial to get my hands dirty even though it is more work at the start. 

The reason being that the State has allowed the four counties to regulate STRs, and why each county does it differently.

If you have a good team to help you along the journey, it is very possible. 

They have a Zillow Rental Manager but this is only a platform to allow a property owner to list their property for rent on Zillow.

Look into loans like FHA, traditional loans, HELOCs, portfolio loans, and teaming up.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.
