I definitely recommend checking some of the real estate meetups in the area (there are plenty to choose from) to start getting connected with people in similar spots and to find resources to help.Happy to answer any questions you might have.

Any recommended courses?

Hi Brad, I'm from the Hospitable.com team (a top-rated short-term rental property management software) and we had a great webinar on taxes a couple of months ago - I recommend checking it out here.

And I would recommend making sure the loan isn't short term.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

On the other hand, if I do go through insurance, they might find reasons not to pay out, resulting in another zero-dollar claim.Do you have any recommendations for where to find a reliable, trustworthy, transparent, and accurate insurance company or agent?

He has a professional designer join him in a handful of the sessions and she provides some actionable recommendations  that may give you some confidence to do the design yourself.Another quick thing to look into is a subscription with a company like Minoan.

We consider looking for or offering products, properties, services, referrals, recommendations, or loans to be advertising according to our forum rules. 

What are my resources or what course of actions do you recommend? 

If that is the case I would recommend a conversation and perhaps a revision to the current lease.
