Courses are great if you are looking for high-level "paper experience," but the best way to learn is to jump right in.

Hmm....I'm thinking about that...because I have a family member who have a rental in the Fort Lauderdale area with a beautiful oceanfront in a flood zone area and her place is in high demand.

I have a real estate portfolio with good amount of equity (most of the portfolio is free and clear), however my personal DTI ratio is too high and that's stopping me from tapping into it to settle some debts and buy more properties.

(The fact that they have the nerve to call it a "High Yield Savings Account" is almost insulting! 

The quote I’m getting is for 4200 and that seems a little high.

There is also a large restaurant company here that I have been told needs rentals for a shorter term but pays very well to house staff that they bring in from out of town to work for them during high season.

These are very populated towns that are a bit more affordable, well im not sure anymore lol. prices are a bit higher but you can also get a bit more rent in the allentown/ bethlehem area.

Are your properties in a place where the demand is low and supply is high? 

Costs are also a bit high right now and it’s a substantial investment, likely $1000s per day to run at a scale that would be useful to the community.
