It helps a lot with networking on here.Other than that, be a sponge and soak up as much content to learn the game.

If you can answer these types of questions you will know what is important as you game plan for the next 10 years.

Thanks tons and if this question sounds very immature, i'd say 'that's about right' given how new to this game we are.Thanks again!

It's a whole new world to me and throughout the dozen books and hundred podcasts I've listened to so far I've waffled back and forth from feeling encouraged and excited to feeling like getting into the game in my area would be unattainable... and then back to being encouraged.

Quote from @Michael Baum: Hey @David Rutledge, the purchase of a small hotel is a very different animal than SFHs for STRs.Like @Luke Carl said, you will have to have some significant skin in the game.

There are other players in the game to compare with like Kenny Bedwell at STR Insights or Bill Faeth's coaching.

Mfh is an unfair game because you need a partner to help you with the experience question when getting a commercial loan.
