And should I get a degree or any academic qualification to have more experience and knowledge about real estate?

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

Feel free to DM me to discuss my experience as an investor or lender.Jeff

I just stayed in a hotel in Moab and we had an A/C issue and it took two days to resolve and, honestly, that's not that out of line with my normal experience at hotels.I don't know where people dreamed up this idea that all hotels have someone waiting outside your room ready to resolve anything in 5 minutes. 

This is why I am here and love the real world experiences and feedbacks.

I am keen to learn from the experiences of seasoned professionals and collaborate with fellow investors who share a passion for real estate.

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.

It's been challenging to find resources or training for Yardi outside of obtaining a job that demands prior experience with the software.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

While I’m not a newbie, I own two condos as long term rentals, I live overseas and thus my real estate experience is overseas.
