Looking to invest specifically in luxury beach rentals, so would love to connect with other people in that space (agents, lenders, etc). 

If so, can I do this with a conventional mortgage?

And don’t overthink—your first deal doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to get you in the game.You’ve already taken a big step by asking for guidance, so keep that curiosity alive and stay consistent —let’s crush it!

Some people ar enot so smart.But as @Nathan Gesner and others said, get rid of him anyway.

I understand that a lot of units in ATL are now accepting section 8, so newer, nicer properties are taking the tenants.Possible strategies:-Just lower the rents to the lowest price I can find for a 4BR in Atlanta -- probably around $1200 or $1300, and get a market tenant in there.

@Jorge Liang  I believe in CA the LLC fee is $800 annually, so factor that in too.

So I have recently come into the fork in the road where I am trying to dial in my career to align with my personal and professional goals for the future.

So you're going to get responses from a lot of people that offer coaching.

So when you see that less expensive price tag on a manufactured home (in comparison to a similarly sized- and priced stick built home) please remember that your monthly payment might be more expensive.

You can leverage the first deal you bought and your experience so far, which is a lot compared to someone starting.
