Podcasts are great but some books will help to get clear view on what you'd like to do.

When working on a project, like the basement finish project I'm just completing, I do refer to this book frequently. 

Simple enough.What makes it unique is that we have operated a profitable and successful business out of our home for nearly 4 years as a highly booked Hostel and event space + potential urban market farm.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

I figured that was the case, but I've been just eyeballing the rents I can get via a FF local search and by how quickly I am getting bookings.

I will be managing all booking, renovation, and maintenance operations of the STR (besides mandatory front desk operations, and cleaning - required to be run by the Hotel).

Any articles, youtube videos, or books that you would recommend?

As you build your portfolio, consider exploring markets like Austin or Phoenix..they're vibrant and full of potential.If you're ever up for swapping stories or diving into market insights, I'm just a message away.
