I was eager to get one on the board and moved the dates up a week.

Many youtube videos on the concept will help spell it out for you and give you confidence to proceed. 

They have lessons to go through and weekly calls to join as well plus one on one with Brian. 

Do know of any resources (books, courses, YouTube videos, etc.) to get educated on private money lending?

We try to set up at least 3 timeslots each week when we can schedule all the showings to minimize the tenant interuptions.If they won't cooperate or cancel too many scheduled showings, we warn them we will pursue collections to the fullest extent of the law.

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

I will be fully moved to Denver over the next couple of weeks.

Rent's have continued to appreciate and when recently had vacancy upcoming I had it rented in 17 days, kid you not, weeks before exiting tenant was out making for a nice 0 vacancy rate. 

My lease has a sublet fee (2 weeks is guest by lease more than 2 weeks in a year is sublet) that is costly enough ($100/night per person which is about what a cheaper hotel is here) that makes sure tenants do not have others move-in without informing us.
