At this point, I have to say that Brad really does do well in this space and his program is absolutely worth it if you are serious about breaking through to the next level and doing a MF deal.

For a more general philosophy on hospitality, especially if you are going into the higher end STR space I would recommend Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy by Isadore Sharp about the founding and development of the Four Seasons brand. 

Quote from @Melody Bohannon: Prior to my investment, I asked my advisor, Mark Zabilowicz,  multiple times about the holding period and was consistently assured that I could request the return after six months.

What worked for me was partnering with a trusted local business or coworking space in the area and using their address (with their consent, of course).

I manage a "shared space" for a friend of mine.

My focus is on warehouses and I'm always looking to network with others doing innovative things in this space.

But I think there is a gap and opportunity for investors to realize a tremendous amount of value from this, especially those in the HCOL/SFR space. 

I designed a little U-shaped kitchen to fit right in the space.

I think there’s some sort of option of to do a little refi on both house 1 and 2 and get the money needed to wipe out the line of credit(allowing for bigger flip opportunities, especially if I partner up with someone) and also renovating that garage space with the private investor as long as it is under 1000/month.

@Teri Feeney Styers the slow flip method that I think he is referring to is the one coined by Scott Jelinek which is buying a livable property using private money on a short term (typical 60 month--like a car) and immediately marking it up 2-4 times and selling it on a 30 year term using a land contract.
