I would love to be able to network with investors, wholesalers, agents, contractors and anyone in between!

**Are there any particular etiquettes or protocols I should be mindful of when networking with fellow professionals and investors?

That's how networking works.

I own MTR's in a San Antonio medical center and I can give you this advise: Traveling nurses/professionals are looking for small accommodations (lower price point), they are concerned with safety, as they are usually women traveling alone, well-lit walkways by their parking spot, private entrances/bath/laundry.

I’ve been a very passive investor but I’m looking into buying our first rentals out of state and becoming a real estate professional. 

You've landed in the perfect spot to kickstart your networking and learning journey.

While you can’t completely control who applies to live in your properties, you most definitely can find areas that are popular with students, young professionals, families, etc. 4) just as important as finding the property, you need to have an exit strategy in mind for the property.

It may be beneficial to consult with a contractor and real estate professional to assess the best option for your specific situation.

2/1s  and 1/1s are great for travel medical professionals and digital nomads. 3/1s are a lot tougher to rent as MTRs.

Eager to learn from others and grow my network.
