Because of this, I'm exploring what it would look like to begin investing in vacation rental real estate as a way to:1 - Save on taxes by taking depreciation2 - Hold long-term appreciating assets3 - Have properties where we enjoy vacationing that we can stay at when we go to do maintenance (probably 2 areas).What resources would you recommend for someone just starting out who has these specific goals?

Tenant B has the option to enjoy W/D for a set, flat monthly fee.

As a quieter person, it’s reassuring to know that others will enjoy sharing their journey, and I’ll definitely use that approach.Also, I’m glad you commented on this post because I actually found this meetup indirectly through your podcast with Andrew Freed.

I'm particularly passionate about wholesaling and/or fix and flips, and commercial properties like RV parks.Outside of real estate, I enjoy watching sports, learning and hanging out with family and friends.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Do you have a nice amount saved up for the activities you enjoy(I assume yes given a 30+ year in Tech plus you mentioning making lots of money already in real estate).If that is the case, what are you looking to achieve now within real estate?

Enjoy man!

I currently enjoy my full time job in health care, but would love to cut down on my hours in another 5-10 years.

Marketing and Advertising: A property manager has the resources and knowledge to effectively market and advertise rental properties, attracting prospective tenants and reducing vacancy periods.In summary, hiring a property manager can streamline operations, enhance profitability, and provide peace of mind for you, allowing you to enjoy your investments rather than being bogged down by day-to-day management tasks.A property manager will give you more time to expand your investment portfolio. 

I don't want to be frugal as to not enjoy life, but also not enjoy too much where I have nothing to show for the future. 

I enjoy helping Bigger Pockets members save time, money and talking REI.
