@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

I feel like I have all the knowledge, but I have still not found that first deal!

This deal leveraged strategic financing, value-add renovations, and market knowledge to deliver a strong return.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

This is the “over night” success that’s taken 20 years.2 - Superior uncommon knowledge, combined with experience and capital and a willingness to take a risk (speculate).  

I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to share your knowledge with me.

I grew up on the east side of the town with a well versed knowledge of the neighborhood.

Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

LOL Happy to share any knowledge about that niche, since as you can see, I am kind of the go to for KY and that is all I do.

Instead, you’re attacking a strawman and questioning the knowledge/character of others.
