I live in NYC, I'd like to connect and meet with people locally, partners to work with and groups to join.

To be transparent, I haven't started analyzing deals yet but in talking with people familiar with the area I have been told it's hard to find deals that cash flow.

I'd be fine with doing it myself, but I'm not sure an airbnb setup would be good because of people constantly coming in and out, and risk of it being vacant. 

I'm open to calling leads for people who are just getting started.

It is still profitable, but just another consideration for people who get heart eyes when seeing the cash flow but don't realize the maintenance they are getting into. 

I am meeting with about 2 people a week from bigger pockets over coffee and enjoying the experience.

It sounds like you are trying to help people find a home to your own detriment.

Asked if many people are refinancing and extending out their amortization from say 10 years back out to 15 or 20 due to refinancing at balloon periods. 

Another idea we’ve been dabbling with given western Michigan’s coast is short term rentals in one of the beach towns along the lake.Would love to hear people’s thoughts, share their experiences, or give any advice regarding the GR market and surround area. 

I'm eager to learn and network with like minded people
