Hello all, my name is Brian floyd and Im a fresh back into the real estate market since 2021. 

My gf just bought a brand new 4 bedroom townhome and got a 5.375% interest rate with no points and $5K towards closing costs. 

As I read once, try to have your business efforts be cumulative, so you are not always fresh on the learning curve, where the risk is highest. 

I have been going to meet ups and trying to network with other investors/operators but i find it difficult to keep the relationships fresh so to speak. what are some techniques you think i can use to let the people i meet know that i really would like to keep in touch with them and continue the interactions?

Haven't seen your name before so It's always good to meet fresh faces.

If the cabin is brand new, figure 5 percent of annual rents for repairs and maintenance.  

I'm Kimberly Mathis from Rowlett, TX passionate about real estate but brand new to investing.

One on one training, which I decided on, where you are brought from brand new to an investor buying and holding properties. 

Other ideas I've seen include taking white label products and putting your STR branding on them to sell.  

I wanted to get in on the ground level with the hopes of growing with their brand new education company but quickly saw how they operate and realized that’s not what I wanted.
