Because the real estate market is so hot right now, we are looking in multiple markets for our first STR purchase - all of which are outside of our immediate area.Do you see any issues with us using a local (to us) lender, someone in our home town, to work with for this purchase?

,I helped multiple investors to purchase a multifamily property this year.

I would like to create multiple businesses and I have A few ideas already, I struggle with time management between high school, work, and family life in general if you could give any ideas, tips, suggestions, lessons, or books that would be great I am not yet set up for the real estate and I have a ton to learn to get where I want to. 

In addition, I would interview multiple property managers.

I'm beginning to accelerate my acquisitions and I'm at the point where it would be much easier to have multiple properties on one quickbooks file.
