Patrick Jackson , thanks for the welcome.Currently im developing my strategy, after reading the UBG and all of the igger pockets PODcast, im well on my way to taking it slow.

I believe it is required that we a) reveal our status as licensed agents and b) identify the brokerage we are currently working with.  

Zoning can and does change over time but often on something like that the current use would be grandfathered.Either way I would start by calling the local planning/development office and finding out what they need.

My advice would be to start reading, develop a plan, and connect with others.

Hello all, Just curious as in the first couple of steps to start focusing on when it comes to developing a business plan for vacation rentals?

How do I identify and find information about a specific market?

I spent most of my cash on my down-payment and remodel, however, with the work I did (and rising home prices) I have developed a good amount of equity in a short time.I have been approved for a HELOC of (roughly) 150K, which I want to use to invest.

There are a lot of costs involved in development.

I have developed a habit of purchasing homes in the city I move to and when I depart I rent the home out using a property manager.

So giving us here some more info on what your limitations are in that regard will help us give some guidance on where to start your search.You can look for both in the same place, but will likely have better results once you've identified exactly what it is your constraints are as far as what you can actually purchase.
