Thank you for your reply.I have studied and drafted a few important clauses, which I asked the lawyer to translate into legal language, including must-have clauses for a California lease agreement.

Key actions include studying the market, checking out properties, forming a team, getting the money ready, and beginning with something small.

These can include inputting your own information and getting a cost seg in 15 min, or having an engineer come to your property and make a more detailed study of your STR. 

That will be an excellent case study on the above question.

As far as my education is concerned, I have a BA in Theatrical Studies with a minor in business.

A cost segregation study may be beneficial to help reduce your current taxes. 

A cost segregation study was done and looked just fine.

Study all about it while at the same time growing your funds.

Studying it currently. 

New investors look for guidance only to find constant ads for courses, coaching, and get-rich-quick strategies.Look at those where you want to be and before you ask them to be your mentor study them, learn from them, and read books about business owners.
