Interested in Short term rental investment

[Ryan Newsome]

I plan to retire from FSU as a mechanical engineer/machinist in about 6 years and want to research a potential  entrepreneurship in short term vacation rental properties. I have absolutely zero experience and just want to read and learn for now.  I’m excited and very interested in learning as much as I can at the moment. Hopefully it will spark a new passion. Looking forward to meeting new people in the process.

Thanks for letting me join the group!

Hi @Ryan Newsome, thanks for your post! Have you tried any possible local BiggerPockets community meet ups in your area? You may visit https://www.biggerpockets.com/events for more information. 

Currently, I invest in long term rentals, but have some friends who do Short-Term and Mid-Term Rentals! 

Hi Lawrence,

I have not checked for any events yet, but will check out the link. My interest area would be around Mexico Beach, FL .  This first year of research I’ll be working on my personal finances and credit score to be ready to purchase something after that portion or preparation.
