Would cause me to not even ever considering that in today’s environment.

What doesn’t work today may work in the future.Another challenge with the traditional BRRRR model is the resulting high debt load often isn’t fully covered by rental income, especially in today’s high-rate environment.

Smart idea staying flexible in this environment.

The environment now with higher interest rates and higher purchase price does make it more difficult but definitely doable. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Keith Wilson: Any feed back is welcome  Have not taken the course but BRRR is basically dead right now due to interest rate environment - so if you take it I am not sure you can implement any training you learn at this time.  

Major cities where STRs have only began rising up and gaining public spotlight with the rise of AirBNB are more likely to have more shifting and less stable regulatory environments since those areas are still in the process of trying to find the balance for STRs within their markets. 

I agree, shorter-term plays are tough in the current environment, and patience paired with a strong strategy often leads to success, unfortunately this is a strategy that a lot of real estate investors don’t really have the experience and the patience to follow.

I've been thinking I want to work for real estate investors in whatever capacity if I can be trained and also learn at the same time, or work somewhere that would still allow me to have an income while I'm learning at the job within the real estate environment.... does this sound like a good idea? 

Given current cap rate expansion, and the interest rate environment, it would require a significant capital infusion to refinance now.  

Look at other rentals in the area and see not only how they are advertising or promoting online but also the inside and outside of the rental so you can create a similar environment to try to replicate the same results.
