Being only 19 years old, I am sure that many of the "Big Guys" here in Phoenix who currently dominate the multi-family industry will not likely take me seriously and may take advantage of my clearly novice position in the marketplace (I have met a few of them and have already experienced this). 

I'm a dad with 4 daughters, spent most of my time in male dominated work environments (military and warehousing), so I'm reading this thread with great interest.  

The institutional space is dominated by the "big three" REITs (VTR, HCP, HCN).The product type is very similar to multi family and lodging with a healthcare component.

I think  this is a decent list, but honestly there are some players to stay away from, especially if you are doing rehab and need trades, construction people, or project management in Indianapolis. 

There are guys out there that do it on a daily basis and have whole teams of resources dedicated to dominating the auctions, so just be prepared.

So I noticed these podcasts on the media player and I started looking well I came across Dave Ramsey.

At this time flipping will be even more time sensitive than normal and new players to the game will suffer.

What other players should I include in this process? 

VRBO seems to be bigger in the "legacy" vacation markets that predate OTAs, which sounds like your market is, while AirBnb is more dominant in urban areas and college towns.

Really looking for a team player, as I am serious about purchasing multiple properties / asset types, and working with one person/team for the long-term.
