It goes something like this.You find a commercial property for sale in a good location that’s currently vacant (so that you’re not paying for current cash flow) and that has an assumable mortgage at a relatively low rate.

That is a local issue.

Im located here in Brevard

However you are familiar with the AK market, local contacts, etc.

I have some contacts in the country who can lend a hand getting me plugged into local networks.

Look up Top Golf, there a few locations in Phoenix. 3-4 stories tall with GPSed balls so you can see them on a TV screen that is in each bay.

HI Michael, I'm a huge fan of all things Colorado but I've heard STR restrictions have been tightening..AirDNA and local PM would be a good projection and analysis resource.

Stay local.

Instead of spending time on systems before you own your first rental property, you should be out at real estate investor meetups meeting other local investors who are only a little ahead of where you want to be.

Get with a good local agent who understands the submarkets, and buy for the long term.
