Not related to the original question about references, but Facebook is an amazing tool as well.

As i am new, and understand references are a powerful tool in this industry, I was curious if anyone knew of good investment oriented real estate agents that operate in/ close to my city.

Thank you so much for he opportunities you all provide with this huge collaboration of expertise, and in particular thank you to Brandon Turner for the awesome books that gave me the avenue to this!

You’ll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts.The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

You need to do so, in writing, in accordance with local law, now.Your main concern at this point should be informing the incoming tenant of potential issues, and collaborate with them on a Plan B.

Hello,I found this link to this short term rental calculator: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/STR-Calculator-V2-Locked-.xlsxIt is very helpful and appears to be a useful evaluation tool. 

you can do a sep account for each property, but I'm unconvinced it's all that helpful and it makes it unclear how to handle things like minor tool purchases which are property accounted for across any properties you have.

Thank you Luke, I plan on utilizing that tool but I was hoping to speak with someone about their experience.

Looks like you have all the tools you need already, being a RE Broker. 

You’ve given me some tools to work with and gotten me started on a path with some direction.
