@Cassandra Staffieri looks like the city is very much against the idea of STR's.

I’m interested in investing abroad and would like some ideas of good areas of the USA that are currently good markets, but inexpensive to get into.

The idea that you can build wealth without putting any money into it is a recipe for disaster and the sales pitch of gurus trying to steal your money.

I think I might be able to get more of an idea with a home inspection. 

Such great ideas and support.

I'm very eager to get started but have no idea where to start ... any help, comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated. 

You don't' need to only ask investors, everyone who owns a home has work done on it at some point.Once you have an idea of what your project will cost you, based on your newly formed list, you can break it down by trade or keep it as one large scope.

This is a great community to bounce ideas off of and to learn from.

What i am wondering is if it would be a good idea to start another LLC (currently have one, licensed, bonded) since we are both handling our flip and our contracting work under the same LLC. 

However, I don't subscribe to the idea of buying performing to get into non-performing.
