You can start here to get some general guidance without having to jump on a call with anybody.  

Hi BB Forum,You may have read our first forum post a while ago about getting started and more entrenched in the industry on a full time basis in the following capacities: - Wholesale (Stage 1)- Fix/Flip (Stage 2)- BRRRR (Stage 2)- Buy/Hold (Stage 3)We are out of country investors looking at the best market to have longevity in and it's coming down to Pheonix, Houston or Dallas.

If you are doing STR in Raleigh I would love to hear how you got started, how the cash flow is and any recommendations you can share that can help me get started.

A DIY way of starting your investigation is visit the building department and see if they have any records for the property on file.

You can start by searching your area on Furnished Finder and look at the availability of units similar to yours.

Have started out in Austin getting 2 duplexes.

I started with an Airbnb, added several more, I am completing my second BRRRR and have successfully flipped 2 houses this year in Austin, TX where I live.

@Max Tanenbaum - there are lots of companies (usually law firms) that specialize in tax appeals; they take a percentage of the first year's savings as payment, so you don't have much to lose by using one of them UNLESS the appeal results in a higher tax.
