If you have no money you can try to earn equity in a deal with your time (finding deals, managing the property, etc), or skill (learn a trade, get your GC license, etc) I read that book in Sept and wished I had read it sooner! 

Are there any real estate calculators that you wish you had? 

Making money in real estate requires experience and starting with no or little money makes you study harder.As much as most of us probably wished for it, getting started with a lot of money in your pocket is a recipe for disaster: the temptation is to make the deal work by throwing money at it.If you want to go into real estate go with a syndicator with a good track record.

Either way, you will learn a TON from this experience, and I wish you the best!

We have a commercial policy with State Farm and I *wish* it was around $100/mo.!

I wish I did that. 

I wish all the STR owners luck.

I hope the honesty in this post has given you some things to think about and I wish you the best of luck in your real estate journey.

Maybe one day i'll look back and wish I didn't fall in love with a property.

It sounds like you are in a really good spot right now and have a lot of options, I hope some of this info helps, or gives you a different perspective perhaps, I wish you all the best!
