@Ben Scarborough May have some knowledge on the Biloxi, Mississippi area. Or maybe he knows someone there you can connect with.

Here are some people that would be great to tap into and learn all you can....
Thanks for Visiting with Annette and Sarah
Each of these people have great social media sites, YouTube channels, and podcasts. You can literally learn almost everything you need to know with all the value they put out!
As for a possible location...think of what areas are a draw for you. Where could you have a STR that you can be passionate about?

Here's a couple people that have been very successful with rental arbitrage....
We are also part of a large STR mastermind, and I couldn't begin to count how many do one or more rental arbitrage units and done well. If you use the strategy correctly, it's definitely a great way to earn cash that can be put towards purchase your own properties.

Im about to drop 10k tomorrow on this investment and ya'll leave me on this cliff hanger?!?!
We're members and love having Anderson Advisors in our back pocket so to speak! If you want to chat just DM me.
As for the cliff hanger I'm curious to hear Anderson Advisors side. From this story it seems like the poster didn't sign up for the tax service before the deadline or stopped paying the fees, so their services were dropped. I'm rather confused on all the employees leaving statement! They just hired a boatload of new people and restructured a few of their services, so members won't have long delay response times anymore. Over the last year of so they have grown greatly in clients, so they were a bit overloaded until recently. Outsourcing their tax services is a new one! I think the poster needs to make sure all the facts are in line with their emotions, and I would suggest adding a profile picture, so it seems more real and not a get back situation.
When a people leave and they have to hire a "boatload" of new people that's a sign. People should avoid this company. Let them prove the critics wrong. If a company has to use paid shills there is a sign as well.
That's the point, people didn't leave in huge numbers, and actually more clients joined so they hired a bunch more employees. They're definitely proving what type of a company they are, for those that care to unbiasedly learn. I've never heard of them using a paid shill but maybe they have. Everything was outlined to us in black and white before we signed up and paid the membership, and they have come through to a T.
Ok shill!
Notice my business LLC at the bottom of this post....set up by Anderson Advisors.
Several entities set up for holding real estate....set up by Anderson Advisors.
Business attorneys on call whenever I need answers....Anderson Advisors.
Bookkeepers for said business listed below.....Anderson Advisors.
Should I continue on?
If you can't already string the bits together, I have paid ALOT of money to Anderson Advisors and they have fulfilled everything I requested done. Yet I have not received ONE penny from Anderson Advisors!!
I have seen many assumptions made by others on this platform, but this one takes the cake to the fullest! And if you're trying to be this way to keep your metrics up, you can read through some of my other posts to see my option on how low down that is. This assumption was completely uncalled for, and I feel for those that have a need to run down companies and successful people. The number one contributors on these forums never cease to amaze me and I really wish Biggerpockets would get rid of the top five rankings!

If your considering Miami, Fl for a STR, that's a tough place to have one due to restrictions. @Carson McGee Is the person to chat with about STR in Hawaii! From what he shared with me; I'd be parking a good bit of that money into a property there.

@Bruce Woodruff No one under 30? You must have a really hot property! lol. I think 25 is old. I think of people joining the military at 18. Mine's the basic 25 which I think if you can put down a deposit and 2 nights for like $2k you are probably responsible enough for the weekend.
I would do 35 if I could. Too many potential issues with the younger crowd. I know....I'm generalizing, but.....
No, I never had a single problem. Partially because of the age limit, but also, no last minute bookings, no short stays, etc.....

@Sarah Kensinger hey I must have tried another BP advertised carrier. The Proper immediately insured the STR mobile home for $$$$ but it's 100% covered so I just got bare minimum which is still a lot I'm happy with and now I feel better moving forward on a property I felt was just uninsureable. So thanks for the referral.
That makes me so happy, glad it worked out! I would also be rather concerned about your New Years booking, especially if you still haven't received an ID. You could send a polite, professional reminder...ChatGPT is great for wording...just to see if maybe they forgot to send the photo to you. I would get Minut in the property before a booking with 12 adults.....Might be something to consider getting.
