Quote from @David Lambert: Hey David, I have experience managing properties for my mentor before going out and buying my first one.

If you are looking for proper guidance from someone that has house hacked quite a few times and has the knowledge and experience to help get you going in the right direction, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

It is too nuanced and requires capital, experience & focus.  

Quote from @Sherylyn Holden: I posted awhile back about the new short term rental rules in San Antonio here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1200417-new-...Wanted to share a brief update on my experience and some other helpful notes:The city is getting serious about these rules.

Though, it would be interesting to hear the experience of others here with the group. 

Only experience is renting out my first home in Springfield, VA when I was in the Navy.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

(Probably same in attorney state but I have no experience there.)it will make inspection problematic.

Should I just jump into it and try to invest in my first property with not much experience besides the many investing books I've read?
