First steps and how to practice analyzing deals

[Emily Simmons]

My ultimate goal would be to own properties in places I and my family already enjoy visiting, but make them nearly full-time STRs.

I'm still busy saving up capital; what should I be doing in the meantime? I have an LLC just to keep myself motivated. It's easy to feel crazy and inadequate for thinking I can eventually do this. What can I learn while I save so I know how to spot and jump on a good deal when I'm able? I get the sense I'm either overthinking things or missing key pieces of this process.
