@Derick JenningsGreat to see you diving into real estate investing!

Diving into STR platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are definitely on my to-do list as I start narrowing things down.

Honestly, I never fully understood what they meant—until recently.I’ve been diving into some larger-scale real estate projects, specifically in commercial properties and multifamily development.

Tell me this isn't enticing to dive deeper into?

The 2008 timeframe was different and in situations a lot harder than now, but this market will shape a lot of investors that found their new market, product to focus on, and/or to dive in deeper when times get tough.
