Would love to connect sometime, currently learning more about it. 

You'd learn and potentially earn a profit at exit.Another way is to wholesale the land.

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

You seem to know a lot about STR, could I "connect" with you to maybe learn a bit more about it?

I just learned all this in the last two days as I’m tearing down a mobile home from the 1960’s.  

Nights, weekends, holidays, etc.To keep this on-topic, though...DO figure out what's healthy for you to manage but remember it's a process where every experience teaches you good and bad (and be patient with that process).DON'T sweat the small stuff (damage/costs under $50, undisclosed dogs, etc.) but DO find a way to learn, prevent, put in better practices to maintain your sanity. 

There's likely some good lessons he's learned that you may heed I'm not betting against you, but it seems like it could be a massive problem snowballing in the future.

You will learn on it.  

However, I live close-by (30 minute drive), recently retired from my day-job, and if the loan is not too large, I might be willing to do a deal just to learn a bit more about another side of RE.
