My jaw dropped open at that amount for only 4 properties.

The bank is coming out for an appraisal so I can drop my PMI (woohoo!!). 

Drop the address into https://awning.com/airbnb-estimatorIt works like AirDNA.

I drop them and use a competent local RE agent, who did a great job.   

I don't want to violate any of the self-promotion rules on this thread by specifically linking or name-dropping, but it's from a data analytics platform I am working on specifically built for tracking construction, debt, and ownership activity in the Philadelphia region.I will be posting more detailed insights soon.

I'd like to purchase an STR (I probably should have said that), being that I live in South Florida, Orlando isn't too far, but also not close enough that I can drop by anytime, so I thought I'd need a PM, or perhaps just a great team in place as far as a mechanic and cleaner, realtor and lender.Thanks again!  

That said, even with conservative rental income estimates, my living expenses would eventually drop to several hundred dollars less than what I’m currently paying in rent once the house hack starts generating income.I do have cash reserves to weather some rough patches, but the idea of pushing my budget this hard makes me uneasy.

I haven't seen prices drop too dramatically but I have seen homes in my buy box sitting on the market longer and some lowering prices. 

My wife and I were in analysis paralysis for sure, but then the academy dropped and we were sure we wanted to get into RE, but didn’t know how and this course was WAY cheaper than comps that ultimately just try and sell you a conference that just tries to sell you… on and on plus like you said, we got most of our money back and got to keep the material.
