@Toby FellowsYou are correct, you need to ‘hang’ your license under a broker in order to practice real estate, and most brokerages require you to become a member of the National Association of Realtors as well.While you are preparing and taking your courses, contact several brokers and interview them to find out who might be a good fit.

Here are the rules overall in the nation but each municipality has it's own regs. 1 - Minimum sqft of 70 feet or 80 feet. 2 - Minimum horizontal footage of 7ft.

Views, location to attractions and layout of property can make or break you in a good location or not so great location.Some of my best STR’s are not my million dollar national park homes…. 

As many already know in the BP community, Chris and his team at REI Nation have set the standard for how to build passive income portfolios through rental properties for nearly two decades.

We aren't in "US is going to default and is an inherent credit risk" at 6X national debt to tax revenue ratio, but we are getting close to "let's be wary" territory for creditors. 

Be kind to yourself and feel free to send me a DM if you think that I can be helpful resource.That makes sense but yes I do have FOMO, house prices have historically increased faster than rents, thats a nation wide trend.
