An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.

And now live the life they enjoy as they enjoy that part of the  business..

Don't solely rely on third-party management companies; instead, focus on building a solid asset management plan and, if needed, bring in experts or partners who excel in this field.

I would really enjoy hearing about the process as you move through it!

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: There are so many new operators in the STR field now, and the questions about certain things are mind-boggling.

My local cable, internet, cell and utility companies are already using it to field calls and answer questions online and phone.

Enjoy!

So, coming in to the real estate field with no capital it seems like a good first step to get my feet wet and get a better understanding of real estate investing as a whole.Since I will be on the buying side of the deal, obviously negotiating will be a big part of my job.

., is it worth getting the license as a newby to the field?

Best of luck, and enjoy your journey into real estate investing!
