You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

If so, how is your experience?

Would love to hear from others in similar situations or with more experience.

Also, if a few hundred dollars in draw fees will make your deal go sideways, it may not be the best deal for you, especially as you are just getting started.I'm happy to share my experience as an investor and a mortgage broker.

So many variables can turn a deal sideways from 1 hour to the next - i.e. inspection findings, title issues, contracts, financing issues, taxes, dept. of buildings/local municipalities, etc.I'm glad to hear you made it through the challenges, and it sounds like you'll be able to leverage this experience as you grow your portfolio.All the best to you along your journey!

This also helps with tax planning so clients aren't blindsided.The tools/software that clients use is as varied as the clients themselves. 

Made a decent profit for my first experience Lessons learned?

I’d love to hear more about your experience so far and what you’re looking to achieve in real estate.

Since you already have experience with both short-term and long-term rentals, house hacking a duplex could be a smart next move.
