There are meet-ups in Camp Hill, 2 in Harrisburg, Lancaster, York 2 in Reading and Lebanon, plus other ones that I have not been to. 

Tower Hill Insurance for every flip and rental we have here in Florida, at least 10 policies in the past 2 years.

A unit can get trashed by a tenant,  or the furnace can stop working overnight and if the tenant is silent on it or the landlord isnt responsible then its still uninhabitable for years.  

I lived in martinez/ pleasant hill area for most of my life prior to relocating to AR.No partnership on this one. 

Fairfield, owner of 129 Cotton Hill Road in Belmont, NH, and 52 Countryside Drive, Gilford, NH.If anybody knows how to reach this landlord, please send her my way.

I am currently thinking, if the seller is comfortable, either just a loan with the LLC that will own the property or a silent lien (still out with the lender if this will work).

We live in the Hill Country and after a vacation in Galveston my wife and I are considering investing in a STR in early 2019. 

I'm not about giving out free handouts, but the other option is a HUGE Swath of Americans living in rented rooms, or (non-existent at the moment) Slum housing (like they used to).These places are not typically getting gyms, or pools with Jacuzzi's, but may have a dog walk (clean up after your pooch), and habitable interiors with working things (hot water, heat, stove, fridge, lights, etc...) and professional management that specializes in this demographic.Good luck on building these places, just remember, the people who move in are usually from the same area, and want to "Stay Put" near their favorite shops and relatives, and near the bus route (to Work)...so putting them in Beverly Hills with shops they cannot afford, or at the edge of town with nothing around might make them a lot less attractive to the renters (cutting into your profits deeply). 

My house is on the hill

Class B in Seattle would probably be Ballard & Some parts of Beacon Hill and Columbia City, and some parts of West Seattle near Alki (Class A for waterfront area).
