A good local real estate agent.Of course having a back-up to 1-4 above will help too.Thanks again

Id be happy to answer any questions and discuss real estate.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I’m super excited about real estate and the different strategies to create wealth.

Any input/real-life experiences would be appreciated! 

Definitely hire a real estate attorney to draft or review any seller financing agreement to protect your interests.Ask the real estate attorney how to handle the POA situation...can you talk with any of the other property owners who are short term renting out their properties to see what/if they have any issues? 

Quote from @Francesco Ponticelli: Quote from @James McGovern:  :D depends on the goal, not all investors have the same one!

While I am surprised at that, I also think it is the proper way to view real estate.I always go back to my first vacation rental purchase as an example:  In 2005, I bought a beautiful, 2-acre creek-side cabin in Cosby (near Gatlinburg) for $240,000. 

Definitely depends on where they are and who your desired guest is.

You can upload a photo of yourself to say hello, you can write a quick intro, and then you can see boxes when you scroll down on the left that when you click will allow you to add your company information, and it's always nice if you've invested in real estate in the past to put information about the deals you've done so people know what experience you have!
