Practice with real listings in Indianapolis and focus on market knowledge.

Networking with other OOS investors and shared knowledge and experience.FS seemed to have all the answers so I bit the bullet and paid 15k to get it going. ( I know, but hindsight is 20/20).

On the tax side, I would encourage you to partner with a knowledgeable real estate CPA who can guide you through the transaction to ensure you can meet the qualifications of the STR loophole.

Not enough current income to move the needle, but all the knowledge required to learn and, if you're self-managing, the always-present "the tenant could move/break/have problem any minute of the day" possibility. 

I really do appreciate all of the comments folks have made and it’s clear that they have systems in place and I hope that knowledge will aid me in my endeavor. 

They are now shopping your deal and trying to find a real buyer before coming back to you and signing your assignment.

In addition, you can listen to the Straight Up Chicago Investor for great local knowledge and contacts.
