Here are my four main goals:Goal 1: Buy and Hold in Developing Areas (Texas)I plan to invest in underdeveloped areas where I see growth potential, buying at a discount now and holding for long-term appreciation as development takes place.Goal 2: Wholesaling Discounted Homes (Texas)I’m also thinking of wholesaling properties in those same areas.

.- I was able to get access to private investigator software to find the true owners of these properties since conventional skiptracing produced poor results.  

-One of the cheaper options I have found is TaxAct Business ($140 + states), and TurboTax Small Business ($739 + states).The issue I am potentially running into, and I am not sure if the online software's mentioned above can handle (they won't tell me unless I pay for advice), is figuring out how to make sure the losses/initial capital contributions are reflected on my K-1 and not my business partner, since I made 100% of the contribution.

In a survey of high school and college-age people by software firm Jobber last year, 75 percent said they would be interested in vocational schools offering paid, on-the-job training (WSJ).”And this idea of blue collar career interest was recently discussed on the All In Podcast, which includes a group of prominent Venture Capitalists.

We would have been better off discounting the rent 7% and finding tenants that would respect our property and rent year after year.  

And then looking for rental properties that you can buy for a discount and that cash flow too. 

Also you can get your real estate license at a discount through Premier Point Realty or Homestead Realty. 

@Andrew Steffens pretty well covered it, I would only add $125 for software fees to run the STR.

So don't discount it at all.Don't be impulsive, be calculated.

Talk to my property manager about canceling the 2 bookings and offer the house to people that have been displaced and can pay thru FEMA assistance at a discounted rate.
