Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

I have a great 1031 company I work with that has a lot of education and information if you want me to send it over. 

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

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

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

Also, the dirty little secret is they can make MUCH more educating than actually participating in deals.... 

How did you incorporate the funding fee PLUS the closing costs?

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.  

I would love to share my educational resources with you!

Education and networking can help refine strategies.Good luck!
