I'm excited to be here and connect with like-minded individuals who are on the same real estate journey!

We're looking to revamp our investor tools for 2026 and are curious on which sites individual investors prefer to use to shop for properties? 

It's been, and will continue to be, one of the stronger vacation markets on the east coast, and from a tax strategy perspective, I can still plan on bonus depreciation, which is material in my individual case.Thanks for any thoughts from those on the ground, or those with existing STRs in the market!

Personally I love what you are capable of doing I am just not very good at it so I outsource to individuals likes yourself with right set of skills.What type of investing are you most interested in? 

It is usually cheaper to insure them individually as you can better match the risk to the best carrier.

Do the work on time, with quality, urgency, transparency, and responsibility. 

I’m in the early stages of my real estate journey and joined Bigger Pockets to connect with other investors, learn from people with more experience, and surround myself with individuals who are actively growing in this space.My background is in renovations, and I run Precise Home Renovations LLC, which has given me a strong understanding of construction, materials, budgeting, and project management.

Quote from @Brianna Billings: Thank you all for the detailed responses!

No need to say names, a great story for the unknown individual is always better for the reader.

It’s not that it can’t be done — it’s that most lenders want:One unified lease covering the whole property, not multiple individual ones.Market-rate long-term rent comps that match what they can verify (hard to do with individual rooms).Here’s what a lot of investors do to make it work:Have a single “master lease.”
