I too, have looked seriously into the many, many, online Real Estate Guru’s that are offering one on one training.

I’d appreciate some feedback on my current approach and advice if any.Here’s what I’ve done so far:Pre-Approval: I’ve secured a pre-approval amount and interest rate from an online mortgage lender.Property Analysis: I’m using the mortgage and STR calculators from BiggerPockets to assess the financials for potential properties.Neighborhood Research: I’ve been exploring different neighborhoods using Niche to get insights into schools, safety, and livability.AirDNA: I’m considering subscribing to AirDNA for data on occupancy rates and rental income estimates.Questions:Is AirDNA worth the investment for STR data?

LTRs require finding tenants much less often, but they also have a large pool of possible residents that understand the process and a large buffet of online places to source them.

A spreadsheet has its place in your daily operations and tracking efforts, but I highly recommend starting with a software like QuickBooks Online to track your expenses in a more formalized manner.

Checking online reviews and ratings can also provide insight into the reliability and quality of a handyman's work.

Alternatively, can I get pre-approved online or with my bank and go from there before shopping between lenders? 

Of course, lots of testimonials, typical of on-line sales. 

She has a great online portal for uploading documents and is happy to help with specific questions.

I love my sleep, especially while being away from the kiddos so looking for someone who’s not a party animal, or who snores.
