My inspector emails me the report and then I dive in and do the heavy reading.

You're reading a 10 chapter book and tryin to skip the first 4. 

Perhaps there is a relevant book or podcast that you could suggest to expand my knowledge in this area.Considering you're experience with creative finance deals, which you mentioned previously, I am keen to hear about your personal insights and experiences.

@Rene Hosman You can read about H.S.A. investing in my new BP book - Self-Directed IRA Investing: A BiggerPockets Guide - www.BiggerPockets.com/SDIRA

Taylor has extensive experience with investment properties and creative financing solutions, and he’s great at finding options tailored to unique situations like yours.If you’d like, I can share his contact info or make an introduction.

I'm sure you have a great read on your local market but I'd recommend refraining from pretending to be an expert on a market you clearly know little about.Good luck!

@John Reagan Johnson hope you don't mind a PMC answering, but most of our clients hire us because:1) They live out of state and don't have time & expertise to remote manage2) They don't have the time to manage3) They don't feel they have the necessary expertise and/or don't want to risk learning as they go and making an expensive mistake.Go read Kiosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant book.

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

This is a hard one for people to work with since a lot of investors that do not have a lot of experience do not want to get a deal, not know the full rehab, and fear that they will lose the deal/EMD. 

And I suppose the likelihood of us getting more STRs in the area is directly tied to how good/bad our experience with this one is!
