Unfortunately, while all the online places area great sources of information, you are much less likely to take action, or find someone to shadow, when online in a forum. 

There are some great on-line real estate courses, and I have found the information within them has really been helpful for my investment business.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

They claim to market on dozens of online channels, and they seem to know the right amenities to feature, have great design, services, experiences etc.

Recapture typically happens only when you sell the property.If you use the property partly for personal use and partly as a rental in a given year, depreciation and other expenses must be prorated based on the number of days it was rented versus personal useBased on the current tax laws and regulations, once you've taken bonus depreciation on an asset, you cannot "capture" additional bonus depreciation on that same asset in future years, even if the rates increase.In the 2024 tax year, the rate for bonus depreciation is 60%.

Quote from @Ashish Acharya: @Niklas Zhu If you tear down your STR in 2025 and convert it to personal use, depreciation recapture does not occur at the time of conversion.

Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.  

There are several courses online, but before paying a dime it would be helpful to watch the several videos on YOUTUBE on giving prompts.

If you don't get access to the property before closing it can be tricky but if there are recent photos online or you can walk through before and take your own then it is much easier.

Online is a very tough way to do it.
