Should I expect the contractor to work on my house everyday on a flip project? If they are not on your house for one day when there are no major weather issues do you check in with them and ask why they were not working on your home?

I am from Houston and purchased a property in San Antonio in the 78227 zip code. How do I find out who does the neighborhood trash pickup in my neighborhood?

Quote from @Brady Becker:

I am new to this world and love the concepts, and I am very eager to get started in REI. However, while I am a commercial broker by trade, I am unexperienced as an investor. Would it be wise/necessary for me to buy a certain course or membership in a group to get me feet off of the ground? My goals are to wholesale and BRRRR.

Hi Brady, read and learn the basics as much as you can. Understand the numbers as much as you can because that is really key to determining if it's a deal or not. Then I would just start taking small steps, like looking at properties and practice running the numbers (the BP calculator is great), and figure out things as they come up. When you're ready to start looking at deals reach out to an experienced investor or realtor who can also assist with giving you an idea of how the process works, rehab costs, financing, etc. And of course you can always ask here in the BP community!

I’m from Houston and looking at getting a rental property in San Antonio. 

Trying to get an idea on insurance cost to own a rental property, I guess that would also have loss of income coverage. Around how much would I expect to pay on a property that’s worth 200k?

@Ben M., I'm not sure if you're working with a STR friendly realtor in the area. If you are searching on your own, I suggest reaching out to @January Johnson and @Napoleon DeCiutiis

Thank you Sir!

Looking at doing Airbnb for a nice condo with a view in Panama City, Florida. Would these usually get booked all year round or can it end up being vacant on some months? Trying to see if this makes sense
