Thank you all for the welcome and replies. I def, want to gain as much knowledge from you all as possible.  My goal is to hopefully obtain my first property within 12 months time.  Yes, having 2 universities close are a plus, but they are private Christian colleges.  There is another much larger state university within 30 minutes from me.  However, I went there and know what happens to those rentals! LOL.  What are the best resources to see rental data? I know of some like AirDNA, beyond pricing, zillow, etc.  Again, thanks and look forward to learning from you all. 

Hey all, long time lurker. Trying to soak as much up as I can and read/watch as much as I can. I know the biggest hurdle is fear and taking the step/jumping in. I think, thats where I am at. I am in Indiana, 1hr north of Indy and 1hr south of Fort Wayne. I would like to start my journey with STR or mid term rentals. I have no debt other than my current primary residence. I would like to start local as I have 2 universities pretty close. Problem is, I am not "in" the network of local realtors/investors who snag up the "deals" first. My goal is financial freedom as my wife and I both had full time jobs. But I would love to start and eventually have some STRs out of state that generate a more passive income, vacation home, and maybe retire in it one day. Im not afraid at taking some risk, as my current "hobby" is buying and selling large farm equipment from deals and auctions. I just havent dont have the knowledge of the banking, taxes, loans, etc. of real estate. Looking forward to speaking with you.

Hello all,

New to the site. New to REI and STR. I am wanting to look at some different properties, but looking for a spreadsheet template to use as an analyzer for costs/expenses etc. Wanting to put together a biz style plan so I can wrap my head around things with pros/cons etc. A bit nervous jumping in. Thanks.
