Looking for some tips/advice.

I am new to the real estate game and am looking at my first deal.

I highly recommend Jason Flemming of CIBC.He understands the real estate investment game and very objective.

I came across a turnkey companyhttps://2020realestate.com/ online and subscribed their mailing list.

Bank is less willing to finance this as well.Any one has any tips doing the ones mentioned above around the area?

Also are their any tips you recommend for buying in a hot market like San Francisco.

Any tips for wholesaling is welcome from others as well.

Something to keep in mind with STR, that's tied to why REI is a smart game to play - control is the name of the game.You want to control the guests and rates (vet them in hopes of avoiding property damage, set rates to attract those willing to pay more for quality)You want to control the costs (furnishings, consumables, cleaning/repair/plumbing/electrical)You want to control the property (choice of property, location, financing terms, well or city water, septic or city sewer, etc)This is all going to be very hard to do, if not impossible, if you don't OWN THE PROPERTY. 

Thanks for starting this post.Thanks, everyone, for your helpful tips.
