Learn of course, but many of us have purchased properties throughout our career without "iron clad" veils and have done just fine.

I am looking to join a mentorship program to help lower my learning curve and until I find it, I am educating myself with books, as well as YouTube University and great advice from the BiggerPockets community.I do work full-time in a career that I love and is very rewarding, but I also know I won't attain my goals with my current job.

It also allows you to search 400 property and property owner consumer fields, in addition to being a driving for dollars tool.

I've observed that many positions in this field require proficiency in Yardi.

Hi @Brendan Jones I moved to Nashville in late 2021 to begin my homeownership and investing career, buying a primary residence, house-hacking it, and transitioning to a long-term rental once I bought my next property (also in Nashville) so would be happy to share my experiences.There is a lot of interest in STRs in the Nashville Metro area, but the zoning has become increasingly strict over the years.
