@Zach Howard I am working on a how-to book on Creative Financing now (I am the author of BP's book on Mid Term Rentals) because when I was teaching myself I was frustrated at the lack of clear instruction.

That is comforting, if I'm an investor.I still feel good about investing in Colorado locations if the area has a law on the books actively allowing Airbnb.

I've read many of the BiggerPockets books like - House Hacking- Flipping- Estimating Rehabs- Multifamily Millionaire Book I and II- How to Invest in Real Estate with Low or No Money Down- Investing from a Distanceand even some outside of themand have been wanting to do something in Real Estate for awhile.

Then the gentleman from Citizens  I was talking to mentioned  they charged the loan off their books.

I reached out to my investment advisor who pointed me to a couple books that opened my mind to the other possibilities.

My guess is they have low level of book keeping sophistication. 

It usually sinks in a lot more when I experience it versus just hearing it in a book or podcast.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

have strong desire to venture in real estate and have read books about real estate and the book I'm currently reading directed me to get more insights from here!

I'm an Air Force vet and reservist that got my start investing in real estate part time and eventually swapped to full time!
