I've learned that I'd rather grow at a slower rate and not be at the mercy of lenders and insurance companies that will gouge you every chance they get. 

The first result was a thread from this site and I was floored at the amount of information I learned!

Currently about to remodel one side of our duplex from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/2 bath with upgraded mini split ductless HVAC system.We've been doing real estate investing for over 10 years and I'm close to finishing developing a land lording class for local landlords to learn from my mistakes of 10 years and similar to the BP mentality ensure landlords are raising the bar to push the less than reputable landlords out as we feel our tenants deserve better!

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

We don’t really understand the AirBnB and lending world, so while we are really impressed by what we are learning, we’d want to go the simplest route possible for us, which would likely be finding an investor to buy the place (or go half in with the original investor) or a local realtor to sell like a lot of you have been suggesting (thank you so much!
