Going live as a STR in 2 weeks Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I would recommend anyone lending in this environment to fix and flippers or any type of investment to be careful and get a personal guaranty and make sure person has a long track record.

I just sent you a DM with a recommendation!

I’d recommend starting by connecting with local investor groups and networking with other professionals in the area.Also, seek out teams that are actively investing and managing properties on the ground.

Bigger Pockets community was recommended to me by a local investor that I've done handyman work for.

I’m excited to connect, learn, and eventually contribute as I gain experience.Feel free to drop your wisdom or recommendations—I’m all ears!

And are there any meet up groups you would recommend joining for real estate investing ?
