What are everyone’s thoughts on the best STR markets to invest in now that will experience the most growth and appreciation in 2025-26?

Also, read the contract very well before you sign because most PMs will lock you in a long-term contract.If this is your first investment, I will recommend you manage it yourself so you learn one or two things about landlording/property management.Goodluck man!

Hi my name is Rigo,I live in the great Chicago area, I'm new in real estate investing and looking to connect with local investors.thank you.

Just curious if anyone has any experience getting into real estate investing via becoming a home inspector and kind of grasping the field.

To me the info is all outdated on most if not all of the CE courses, find the one that you can complete in the shortest amount of time, and get back to investing.

Usually, this would include something like a holding company ("Hold Co"), typically a traditional LLC, which in turn then owns an investment entity, often a traditional or Series LLC, which will be the entity that owns the assets/property invested into (the "Investment Co").

I agree that FL is a still a hotbed for investment but I am not sure condos specifically are worth the risk.

If they want to micro-manage their investments and be involved in every decision or know every detail, I'm not the right guy for them.If your owners demand to know all the details, it demonstrates a lack of trust which means they are micro-managers or you haven't proven yourself yet.
