@Jed Butikofer you are in the right place to start getting the next level of education.

All the theory and strategy on here can help prepare you but the best education is doing. 

Educate yourself on the differences between checkbook control and custodial control.   

My biggest recommendation is to look on social media and see who the “big” players are for investor focused teams in your area.

Educate yourself on investment fundamentals and understand lender criteria, such as minimum loan amounts and property requirements.

I would love to share my educational resources with you!

Quote from @Travis Timmons: @Jay Hinrichs this is an educated guess, but I think the market rent for our property unfurnished, long term would be approximately $1100 per month and we have rented it for $1600 per month as a furnished, medium term rental.  

Education and networking can help refine strategies.Good luck!

While they go back and forth, I wanted to try and educate myself on the situation. 

Of course, if you are doing a lot of buying and selling, it is always good to know who the players are because there are some that do top quality work and others that do not.
