I’m reading the multifamily millionaire volume II book (I did read volume I).  

I have a pro forma  using very pessimistic occupancy/booking percentages (worst case scenarios) which identify a very nice cash on cash return, and the ARV will (again, pessimistically) be at least double the purchase+rehab costs. 

Seems like a great book but would like to find another book or two on the subject.

2.Create a direct booking website and set up an escrow account where guest payments are held and disbursed to the property owner and cohost according to agreed terms?

You only get paid enough to continue.3) You don't need a dozen self-help books, all you need is action and self-discipline.4) YouTube University, podcasts, and the internet will only take you so far. 5) Book smarts make interesting conversation, street smarts make money.6) Find someone who is successful doing what you want to be doing and ask questions.

I'd also recommend diving into books, podcasts, and even attending real estate events to start learning more.Here:Learn the Basics: Study property types, financing, and market trends.Network: Attend events, connect with pros, and build relationships.Find a Mentor: Seek guidance from someone experienced in commercial real estate.Start Small: Look at smaller deals or partnerships to get your feet wet.Take Action: Once ready, start evaluating deals and making offers.

He also has a book coming out in a month or so focused on passive investors like me.

Then I wrote 3 books, became the person in charge of education in my REI and had to produce presentations every month (at least 2) for it, and before I knew it,...It's not as hard as you think, at least it was for me. 

STR and MTR are basically full time jobs when you're booked.

I'm a fan of gated yards and higher-end security doors and will install chain link and even some wood privacy fencing if I think the house/area warrants it.
