I do not have much knowledge on real estate but I am the hitting  books: BRRRR by David Greene, Estimating Rehab cost by J.Scott, Investing real estate with no/low money down by Brandon Turner and finally, Rental property investing by Brandon Turner.Outside of real estate, I enjoy swimming, bike riding, watching anime, playing video games and interests in the stock/house market.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

@Steve Hodgdon Thanks, I just started listening to his podcast and watching his videos on youtube.

This video seems to be atleast 2 years old.

I watched RETipsters YouTube videos and his BP interview and just jumped in.  

Is there a centralized place/website that one can go to, to be able to see all the relevant metrics that one would need to know before they make a decision on whether it would be a good idea to invest in a particular area or not?

See Facebook and Insta for video updates.

You might be able to make an agreement with the person who is helping you purchase the property to check on it weekly/video calls with you and compensate them for going out.

Turning the pool table loft area into a full-on game room, or maybe even doing a projector screen with a home theater or video gaming set-up there - that could be a huge selling point for families looking to book a stay with amenities and spaces that will help keep their kids occupied and entertained.One note on the existing hot tub: having an awesome, well-running, clean hot tub can definitely help you command a nice premium on your STR bookings.
