BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

I have a client in ATL that knows STR very well and could provide some resources if needed.

Would love to connect and be a resource to you anyway that I can - I'm a realtor, and investor in the area and have some tips & tricks you can implement into your business and see if it helps! 

But if you want to free up resources for other opportunities or simplify things, selling might make more sense.

My recommendation would be to get approved as a Landlord, contact the director's office and request that an inspection be completed before a tenant is selected (sometimes they will do this as long as you select a tenant within 14 days - which you want anyways), and have an online application and screening resource in place.  

I flipped two my first year and made a great profit $70,000+(2021), I had zero land deals the next year (2022) I had two deals fall thru,  but used my knowledge and resources to get my family into a bigger/newer house ( using subject-to financing), sell my old house and payoff the sub-to mortgage and make $20,000 on top.  

Here to be a resource. 

You are free to set your terms and connect YOUR client to the private lender that you think will work best for your client.I think the skills taught and the resources provided in this course are worth the $500.Having said all that, as I stated before, at the end of the four weeks I discovered that I would not be able to apply this to my particular niche.
