Hi @Rocco Garavuso if small multi family is the goal I associate upstate NY with that. 

I was aware of zoning regulations but had no idea the taxes associated with STRs!

Can someone help me understand this survey?

If you're looking at out of market investments, what annual return do you target to be comfortable with the associated risk?

In a survey of high school and college-age people by software firm Jobber last year, 75 percent said they would be interested in vocational schools offering paid, on-the-job training (WSJ).”And this idea of blue collar career interest was recently discussed on the All In Podcast, which includes a group of prominent Venture Capitalists.

Also if you wonder where you fall compared to other coaches “A 2019 survey by the International Coach Federation showed that real estate coaches often charge high fees because of the tangible ROI their clients can achieve.

You can also ask members of your local real estate investors association for real estate accountant recommendations.Good luck. 

You’ll spend more on surveys, permits, and building which is where you’ll need the financing or to pay directly over time.

Be sure to go to the calendar of events here on Facebook as most official Bigger Pockets meetups are postedhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/...Also check out Meetup.com (be sure to look for live meetups, not virtual ones)And in Kansas City - Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors is hosting it's 200th meeting Tuesday August 13th.

Along the way, I stumbled upon the BiggerPockets forum and various associated books.
