You just accomplished something great and you want to make sure home is running smoothly before you hop into a fixer.

It was not a total home run, but it was probably 10k  better than what I would have done on MLS.

@Kobe McDaniel yes, I run an awesome investor meetup in Seattle!

Quote from @Stephen Hood: I have a property that I want to move into and  purchase but am running into a challenge with the offer being contingent on selling our current property.

Take short-term rentals - they do provide several tax benefits, but they are hard to run and very hard to succeed at so people make the mistake of choosing the tax vehicle, get the benefit, and then lose money on the investment and hate it.

Currently units run around $4,100 erected and let's say in a C market you rent a 10x20 for $70.

Well-intended, no doubt, but you might consider running some of these ideas past a good lending attorney.

If so, consider that with a stock you have NO CONTROL whereas with your rentals you have quite a bit of control over how the business is run and how successful it is.

You could run a syndication.But, at the end of the day, I would read a handful of books, like Don noted, and start talking to investors.
