@Marlin Helsel - I am not sure of your exact location, but if I could give you one piece of advice for meeting people, it would be this.Go to the Nav Bar > "Network" > "Members" Search for members in your area and message them asking to meet for coffee to just chat real estate.

I would recommend if you are looking for a place to enjoy for yourself in addition to reducing rental income, then just search in an area you enjoy, like SC.You already know the area, you know how much people are paying for rentals in that area, and you know what makes a good rental based on what you enjoy.

Partner with a US CRE syndicator and feel free to PM me for more info on how to partner and what to look for.I’d be happy to move your search along and send you a link or two.
