However for business development or scaling your business to the next level, these courses might offer some help.

My thoughts are to either consider it as a wholly separate business, using my (future) agent license to get to know the market, generate leads, etc.

We are/were hoping to put a $60-70k down payment on a higher-end 'A' new build property with Rent to Retirement as I really like their business model/community, rather than a smaller down payment on a refurbished property in a 'C' area.

People want to show you how great their business is going, what geniuses they are.

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.For tenant management, our Clients use Doorloop, Buildium, Appfolio, etc.

TD, where we have the business accounts, doesn't let us use Zelle for the business accounts and it's annoying!

I did so because at the time to purchase the property was about half the cost of renting, and there were no STR regulations in Curry County or really beyond..I recognized early that the regulations that quickly developed to restrict my BNB business in Los Angeles were likely to reach other areas and by being ahead of the curve, could own a long term vacation rental, in a land I wanted to be anyway, before there were rules that would prevent that goal. 

@Brandon JusticeIt sounds like you have a good business plan to move it forward into cash flow positive.  

If banks won't touch crypto, then you shouldn't bother accepting crypto for your business.

They are not close to being the same type of business.
