I'm quite new as an investor, but with three books by Biggerpockets authors under my belt and plenty of enthusiasm, I'm ready to keep learning and to connect with like-minded people in my area and beyond.

This is a real estate group so I’d assume a lot of people own a lot of real estate.

I suggest you start out by meeting like minded people and here is a link to a local meetup in the OC: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1225233-ocre...Good Investing...

Also, don't people tend to prefer Airbnb over hotels?

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

All lies and manipulation of people who do not see through him.

Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

Most people who have crazy/complicated entity structures and financial account structures as a result don't need it.

People complain about booking.com cancellations.

Maybe also consider if they are "good people" that work in the community and just want a safe place to raise their family.
