Financing is usually the toughest part for beginners, but there are different strategies to get started without overextending.

After seeing @John Underwood mentioning missing fan remotes in another post, I thought I would give a tip on how to never have missing remotes again.

Quote from @Branden Rivero: Quote from @Angela Zhou: @Branden Rivero thx for the tip.

The best tip I can share for finding deals is to start building relationships — local agents, wholesalers, and other investors can point you toward opportunities you won’t find online.

Postage and printing add up fast.Requires consistency — one mailer won’t cut it, you need repeated touches.Virtual WholesalingPros:Potentially easier acquisitions since you can cast a wider net.Ability to enter markets with more deal flow.Cons:Building rapport is harder without face-to-face interaction.Lower spreads and ROI are common.Much higher cancellation rates.Finding buyers is more difficult, and selling properties takes more work.Bottom line: Virtual sounds sexy, but in reality, you often do more work for less money.

One tip I’d share is to really focus on understanding your local regulations and market demand first — a lot of beginners get excited about potential profits but run into hurdles if they don’t know the rules.Connecting with someone who’s actively running STRs in your area can make a huge difference.

I would also like to find a brokerage to work with anyone have any tips on finding a brokerage.
