My job every month is to operate with as little $ as possible in banks that pay nothing, getting every dollar possible into my money market accts earning 4%+.

It's important to understand the zoning/code requirements and obtain all necessary permitting if you intend on operating your real estate as STR anywhere in the country.

I find new lending opportunities by networking at local RE Meetups, Training Classes and real estate functions.   

I think too many people get into this and struggle for too long before realizing that they not been properly trained and potentially could have dramatically shortened the learning curve.
