For STRs... what's the best way to gather the data on utilities, pest control, pool cleaning, general maintenance, etc...?

Welcome to BP @Ryan Bilak.  Best of luck in your search!

Congrats on taking a leap of faith and believing in yourself! Best of luck in your new career!

Wow, congrats @Brian Ellis -  this is excellent!

I remember leaving my secure teaching job nearly 20 years ago to pursue my dream of being an entrepreneur. I knew I made the right decision immediately... but leaving security for the unknown is challenging at times. You've gotten tons of great advice here. I would like to add...don't listen to the doubters that you'll inevitably come across. The people who question your decision, who can't believe you would ever leave a secure job to pursue something with uncertainty.

That was actually the biggest challenge for me...hearing all of this noise from people around me, yet forging forward and pursuing my dreams. That's what I would suggest to you. Tune out all doubters, if you have them, and just keep focused on your goals and dreams.

Congrats again, and best of luck!

Congrats @Jake Peetz  That's a great success story!

@Alex Bekeza do you offer financing in NY?

Thanks for the great tips @Frank Rolfe.  I appreciate it!  Looking forward to going through your course again, and attending an upcoming boot camp.

I've recently jumped back into BP, upgraded to Pro - and am actively involved in the 90 Day Challenge. This is my 'Restart' at RE investing. I started 20 years ago with a duplex and a single - but sold everything due to a divorce. I've always been intrigued with real estate and knew I'd get back into it at some point. I've operated my own business for the past 15+ years, so I've been busy with that, and haven't really thought about real estate until recently.

I've very interested in MHP investing. I've actually gone through MHU with Frank Rolfe and Dave Reynolds - and will be going through the course again soon. I plan to attend one of their boot camps in the future as well. I've learned a lot from them - and am confident this is the direction I want to ultimately go in.

I've also really enjoyed listing the the BP podcasts with Jefferson Lilly.

My initial thought was that I'd complete MHU and jump right into the MHP niche. However, after getting back into BP - and listening to Brandon talk about RE Stacking, etc - I'm wondering if I should start small and work my way up to a MHP.

So, I'm hoping to get feedback from people who operate MHPs - and if they'd suggest starting out with this niche, if that's where I want to ultimately be. Or is it wiser to start small and work my way up to it.

Jump right into it - or start small and ease my way into it?

Congrats @Brandon Penn!  

Hoping to attend.  I have a meeting I need to reschedule first. @Eric Winstanley - do you typically have a meeting every month?
