@Shiela Roberts thanks for the input! I'd heard that Boulder specifically has cracked down on STRs, but didn't know this also applied to MTRs. Are there any little havens (that you know of) that might not have these restrictions?

@Jeff Schemmel will do! Thanks for the tip.

Hello all! I am from Minneapolis, MN and would love to find an MTR to either own through creative financing or manage as a co-host. If you have a medium-term rental in the area, I'd love to see if there is anything we can work out! Around the Denver area, I'm especially interested in Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. I'm willing to do favorable terms for you in exchange for a great price, or vice versa.

If you're a realtor in that area and know of any off-market deals that might be beneficial, I'd love to hear about those too!

Thank you!

Hello all! I am from Minneapolis and would love to find an MTR to either own through creative financing or manage as a co-host. I'll be heading through St. Louis on a road trip around 3/12 and 3/19 or 20. If you have a short- or medium-term rental in the area (preferably a medium term), I'd love to check it out if this is something you're interested in! I'm willing to do favorable terms for you in exchange for a great price, or vice versa.

 Hey Pat! That's amazing stuff! You're further than I was at 17. Right now, I'd say just network the hell out of everything. Find someone to learn from and approach them by asking how you can help them; not how they can help you. If you're willing to sacrifice some time to help someone who is where you want to be, the advice and knowledge will come on its own!

When you get more serious about buying a property, you can look into creative financing. In my opinion, seller financing is going to be substantially more important to be able to implement with such high interest rates. Regardless of interest rates, there will always be someone who needs to sell their house. If you can be one of the only buyers that approaches them, your chances of getting a seller financed deal accepted just skyrocketed! Create a buy box, identify a strategy (STR, MTR, or LTR), and figure out how you can secure the deal.

Let me know if you'd like to schedule a call or meet somewhere. I'm happy to help!

 Hey Hayden! Sounds like we're all roughly the same age. This is a first for me!

As for meetups, I created a free account on www.meetup.com. It's a great resource for finding nearby in-person meetups as well as virtual meetups. Personally, I've made several great connections through these and even found my current job at one! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I'm happy to help!

Hey Tyler! Welcome to Minneapolis! There are lots of groups you can take advantage of, both on Facebook and through in-person meetings. I'd love to chat if you need any help!

 Point taken; I hadn't thought of that! Thanks! I'll let you know what they say.

Hey James! Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I'll manage your STR for free, using knowledge and experience as payment for a short time. Obviously after an agreed upon time, it would develop into a paid position much like other PM positions. However, it could save you a decent amount until then and who knows? Maybe I'll beat your current manager ;)

 That's been the strategy so far, but I'd like to speed up the process and network more than I am so figured I'd post something here and see what I get!
