Hi BP community – I’m on the hunt for a niche acquisition and wanted to share my buy box in case anyone has leads or insights.

What I’m Looking For:

• Price: Up to $1.5M

• Asset Type: Boutique hotel, motel, or 10–20 unit multifamily with commercial zoning

• Location Criteria:

  • Dual-season or all-season tourism (e.g., ski towns, mountain getaways, national park gateways)

  • Proximity to a national park or major outdoor destination

  • High-barrier to entry: Strict STR laws or permitting caps preferred

• Condition: Open to value-add or creative repositioning

My goal is to find a property in a supply-constrained market where STR competition is limited, but tourism demand is strong — especially with families or adventure travelers.

If you know of a market that fits, or have leads on off-market properties, I’d love to connect. DMs welcome or feel free to comment! I’m a serious buyer ready to move quickly for the right deal.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm looking to purchase my first boutique hotel in Port Angeles, WA. Open to buying a multi-family property and converting into a hotel. I need to build my team so if you have any contacts on agents and contractors, please share. If you also have any insights on the area, open to hearing that as well! Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I am looking to invest in STRs out of state (from West Coast to East Coast). My biggest concern / worry is how to self-manage the property, considering that I am brand new and I have no experience in any sort of real estate niche. I want to hire a property manager but the 20-30% fee messes with my numbers. 

I've read other forum posts and looks like most people successfully self-manage from out of state. My main question - What happens if there is an urgent issue with property and my handy man is not available to get there immediately? Also both my husband and I work full time jobs and we have a toddler who keeps us occupied as well. 

I really don't want my venture into short-term rentals and real estate investment to turn sour. Please advice how you all successfully self manage STRs from long distance.

I'm interested as well!

@Nathan Clifford I'm a newbie as well and I just read Biggerpockets's How to Invest in Real Estate and The Book on Rental Property Investing. Checkout other Biggerpockets books as well!

Thanks @Jason Shackleton for your reply! When talking about financial freedom, most people mean having enough money to quit their job (escaping the rat race). But I agree with your definition of true freedom. Best of luck to you for the rest of your journey!

@Jacob Whitbeck I'm interested in the meet up, please send me the details.

I'd like to join the next meeting as well. Please share the details. Thanks!

Hello BP community! I am just starting out my REI journey. I am pleasantly surprised to see such a high volume of active users in BP forums.

I want to see how many of you here already achieved (your definition of) financial independence. How long it took for you to get there? Did you only use REI as your vehicle?

I know there are lots of podcasts with success stories, but I am curious to hear from daily active users of BP forums!

Thanks everyone for the tips and recommendations! I am happy to see so many responses for my first post :) These are really good advices, glad I joined BP.
