As my wife is a realtor, we’ve helped several people from Bigger Pockets find their second home/STR.

I kind of didn't want to mention that on the listing so that it wouldn't turn people away before they even had a chance to see it in person.  

Hopefully the permitting people are nice and will offer some guidance.  

I've listened to a lot of BP podcasts and other real estate youtubers, but most of those people invest in places where real estate prices are 3 or 4x what they are here.

You will meet a lot of great people here that will help you on your journey. 

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Some clients love the numbers and others are not numbers people.

Hello BP community,It's nice to see so many discussions from like minded people!

People coming into town to visit family, reunions, weddings or professionals on contracts.All that to say, don't count yourself out.

There are plenty of people who want to get into a home.
