This is where consensus can supplement logic.

Those same colleagues worked past 65, many taking on menial jobs to supplement retirement.Then there was the bat house.

So you would need to supplement with deals that are looking to exit (and stagger them to exit, say every year or so...so you could benefit from the price appreciation boost).

Hi Margo,You could try Facebook Housing Groups and someone sent me this list a while back when I was looking at sites -haven't' checked them all out for relevancy yet but it's a good list to supplement Airbnb:Kopa https://www.kopa.co/Blueground https://www.theblueground.com/Hello Landing https://www.hellolanding.com/Transplant Housing https://www.transplanthousing.com/Roomster https://www.roomster.comHome Away http://www.homeaway.comSublet http://www.sublet.comRent Jungle http://www.rentjungle.comNational Corporate Housing https://www.nationalcorporatehousing.comTraveler’s Haven https://www.travelershaven.comCorporate Housing http://www.corporatehousing.comCorporate Housing by Owner http://www.corporatehousingbyowner.comHousing Helpers http://www.housinghelpers.comFor Rent http://www.forrent.comHome to Go http://www.hometogo.comFlip Key http://www.flipkey.comTravel Housing Pro http://www.travelhousingpro.comPlace of Mine http://www.placeofmin.comRotating Room http://www.rotatingroom.comPadMapper http://www.padmapper.com

I would recommend that you utilize your father knowledge with his knowledge of the local market and use BP to supplement that knowledge. 

I have the required $50k downpayment in the bank, but I'd much rather pay $30k myself and supplement the $20k balance, which leaves me with $20k in the bank to fund another house. 

While I use Evolve and they send their emails for checkin, I supplement theirs with my own Mailchimp campaigns that provides further info on their stay at my propertyies  All of this is powered by an automation engine I built using a free service called Automate.io that leverages my Google calendar to send tailored emails to my guests throughout their stay and automatically notifies my housekeeper of new and updated bookings.At this point, barring a broken toilet or something, I only have to spend about 4 minutes on each of my bookings

I wouldn't suggest any supplemental training/study material.
