Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I do have a co-host, but they're not able to provide much assistance in these areas.Any advice or recommendations for finding reliable handyman services and staging help for out-of-town STR owners?

Tim, thank you for the book recommendation.

My sister doesn’t recommend buying warranties anymore.

One last thing – we recommended you create a Status column on your spreadsheet, now we’ll explain why.

Beyond trying to connect on this forum would recommend look in the BP Meet up section and checking out local DFW FB RE investor Facebook groups as well as Meetup.com and Eventbrite for local events. 

@Brett Baker I would recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

I’d recommend saving that $295 cash flow for some amount of time until you have considerable cash reserves saved up.

I recommend that you find a trusted or recommended Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO), who can give you options for property-based loans (mostly investment loans) and they don't use your taxes but the P&L of the property.
