Overall I would personally consider how I can still grow with the freedom that I have focusing on my real estate.

Focus most of your energy on the actual house, the spread, the team and the execution.

If you’re set on Florida, focus on areas just outside the main city that are still growing—you’ll find better deals there.

To improve your approval chances, use rental income from your first property, consider co-signers, and explore lenders that use Income-Based Repayment (IBR) for student loans.

Additionally, it feels the most appropriate approach for both profiles I described above and allows me to focus on learning one strategy.

It focuses specifically on broker commissions and cash flow forecasting, so you’ll get exactly what you need if you’re in that space.If your portfolio is on the larger side, LoanPro might be worth exploring.

Look at their finishes and what they offer guests, use that as your baseline, then improve upon it.

If you invest in RE, whether active or passive(management team, syndications, crowdfunding), I'd love the chance to quickly explain the structure and hear your thoughts on what might need to be improved.

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

Focus on finding a replacement with strong tenant screening processes and performance guarantees.
