Education via trail & error is easily the #1 worst way to go about anything today UNLESS your an explorer, inventor, revolutionizing and still all of those have a whole lot of training and education backing them. 

However, I find I usually have to do a little more education or hand-holding up-front with them (because there can be a lot of things they don't know- whether it's about how Airbnb / VRBO work or what the rental process is like). 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

From my experience, success in real estate investing starts with clearly defining your goals and continuously educating yourself through podcasts, books, forums, and courses.

My suggestion is to continue being active on BP, get out to some networking events and seminars and also educate yourself through books and podcasts. 

What are the best resources / tools to get connected/educated on this type of asset?

Memphis has a diversified economy, with major players in logistics (FedEx, UPS), healthcare (the Med District), and education (University of Memphis, Rhodes College).

Then I wrote 3 books, became the person in charge of education in my REI and had to produce presentations every month (at least 2) for it, and before I knew it,...It's not as hard as you think, at least it was for me. 

This is NOT Business Credit.By establishing a separate corporate credit profile on the EIN Number (separate from the business owner's SSN/FICO), investors can access substantial business credit lines, capital for property acquisitions, and renovation funds without personally guaranteeing the debt.This approach creates a powerful financial firewall between personal and business assets while potentially generating a significantly larger (ROI) through reduced interest rates, increased borrowing capacity, and the ability to scale investments more rapidly.The education gap surrounding EIN corporate credit means savvy investors who understand and implement this strategy can gain a significant competitive advantage.

The investment in the education and health of its citizens is repaid in innovation and business startups.
