I realize there's no way to capture everything, and learning is a continual process, but it feels helpful to me to have a working "cheat sheet" of information to study and reinforce important concepts.

Hi Andrew don't expect a perfection first step is to study carefully everything. 

I'd study the John Martinez stuff out there. 

You can actually start studying before you are 18 so that you are ready to take and pass the test soon after you have your birthday.My guess is that at 18 it will not be easy, but don't let that stop you. 

Use Furnished Finder to study comps, and talk to some local property managers to see if they can help you get an idea.Once you have the gross income potential number, take that and back out all of your expenses.

Study the market.

I'm a 2x house hacker here in Los Angeles (and a case study in the BP House Hacking Strategy book).

To evaluate investment prospects, including positive cash flow, potential for appreciation, and value-added upgrades, do a full property study.5.

Read every line of every HOA document.7) There are many offerings in my area on FF, but when I study their calendars, I see that most either have a small handful of random night stays (STR) or they’re empty.

I have studied and currently reading some of the books from BP but I haven't made my 1st move since I feel clueless on how to start and I don't have the resources neither.
