I may consider seeing if he'd be interested in becoming a private lender with me to tackle a deal where I currently live, or someone in Baltimore, MD or Columbus, OH.

I don't know much about Walla Walla though, but if you want to tackle this process in Missoula, I'd be happy to help!

I studied a month or two using the forum, read Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth and feel I was fully ready to tackle it on my own. 

@Amy Leei'll tackle one thing you just said - "focus on wholesale to accrue funds..." - unfortunately, this is another trope like the magic BRRRR that is easier said than done.it actually takes a ton of time and at least some funds to wholesale. 

Although, it seems others may tackle it differently than we may. 

You really have two things going on here, and they should be tackled one at a time:1.

Yes I will need the pros for the official things, but painting floors, or whatever else seems “easy” I will tackle.

RamírezI'll try to tackle the questions 1 by 1 since it seems like you had many."

What a cool project to tackle with you dad.

You will get hands on experience, and things you don’t feel comfortable tackling yourself you can look to hire out.
