Should I first secure a pre approval for what I am qualified for or should I just continue looking at properties.

The big picture is this: Airbnb/VRBO/short-term rentals can continue mostly unabated.

(We have been waiting to update docs after we assign because we have been getting caught with sunk costs if the deal does not close) 3) Educating both buyer and seller as much as possible and clarifying any concerns before contract is signed (buyers through drip campaigns when they sign up for our list and through conversation, sellers through conversations at appointments and contract signing, also sales folder left to all sellers on all acquisition strategies) 4) Sending out a Property Update Document to our attorney every Monday.

I will let the tenants pay the debt, write off the interest, and continue to grow a larger portfolio!

You will need to confirm with local building dept if you will need continuous insulation. 1) remove siding and install sheathing with insulation adhered to it. 

Continued diligence and activism will be needed as what did pass is not perfect and may be revisited in the future, especially the potential permit limits.

Given this is continuously rented, so might be in better shape. 

In the little spare time that I have, I've become fascinated in educating myself on the topics of personal finance and real estate investing.

Congrats, best of luck on your continued journey.
