Any $ amount you end up spending on education could come back to you ten-fold, so don't be afraid to get that audible subscription or Spotify.

If they were selling, they almost certainly wouldn't let me know, as they'd be concerned I would leave early, as their last tenant did when they folded.   

One more.... electrical was knob and tube so I had the house wired to current code as a buying condition under the premise of a potential fire hazard.My reason for purchasing the house was two-fold: my lack of funds at the time (0% down with VA) and my partiality toward the charm of the home style. 

I think the main reason that Brandon and others espouse the ideology you mentioned is two-fold:1.

Of course there is always the risk of leveraged ETFs folding up but TQQQ is pretty massive.

Our realtor said we could either turn it around and start renting it out right away to get cash flowing or we could keep it off the market for a few months and have a really great property that could probably command a much higher nightly rate and improved occupancy (as well as overall improved value).OK, welcome me to the fold with your best suggestions.Thanks a ton,John

Literally the only thing I had was my bed, dresser, a white fold up table, and a reclining lawn chair in my living room haha. 

For the STR penthouse, the roof deck, cowboy pool, balconies, and cross ventilation should be enough to set it apart.On the construction side - the only really expensive item - is that folding door on every container. about 12k apiece.Please, share where you feel is the weak point?

That increased my knowledge 10 fold as I had no experience with PM.

And then rather than start asking him questions about what his plans are, start bringing him into the fold with conversations about different ways to make money and talk directly with pros.
