You will have to spend considerable time and energy getting familiar with a new market whereas if you stick with the original one you appear to have enough capital to get started right away on a new building.

You may do better getting a local realtor as leasing agent and sub out all the maintenance to reliable folks who are local.

This strategy comes with some more risk & involvement, but can be a creative way in the TK space to scale quicker.Ultimately I think it comes down to being honest about the level of time, risk, energy/stress & capital you want to invest & then determine which direction to invest in based on that criteria.

Do y'all have any advice relating to how to have more reliable estimates and how to find sub-markets in areas?

Hello Saulo, I have two STRs and the main things my cleaners do - Reliability - they live close to where I operate so that's always a plus Availability - I do constantly update the calendar so they know well in advance of turnoversPictures - they always send pictures after they're done in the event we have a discrepancy with a guest (it will happen)Additionals - if I ran out of something, they will get it an add it to the invoice. 

also, if anyone has any good connects for reliable contractors in the Tulsa, OK market id love to get connected for a fix and flip im working on!

I ended up living here longer because I got into real estate full time and didn't have the energy to finish fixing up, but moved out a couple months ago and it's almost ready to rent out as 2 units for Airbnb's or mid-term.

I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations for a reliable property manager in the area.

It's going to drive you crazy and you've got bigger fish to fry... you're building your business and all the stress and energy you are pouring into this is taking away from that. 

The time, energy, and lifestyle capital can drain your resources when you need to visit, build your team, manage your team, and how and when to exit.
