Even with full coverage insurance you will not receive enough money to actually rebuild your home to today's building codes.  

The episodes I struggle on there are the interviews that seem to be either someone the host wants on, or that they were on their show and it’s a reciprocal situation to build an audience.

I feel a loss of direction and that makes it really hard for me to focus and build.Do we keep at building a portfolio of small multi family (very abundant in my market, very rare to find anything above a triplex for sale), with plans of selling the portfolio and 1031'ing into larger properties? 

It takes time to build relationships with local wholesalers & tired LLs, where ever you are looking to buy.   

Are you set on starting with a larger property, or would you be open to beginning with something smaller to build experience?

Number 2, a lot of wholesalers forget that building a business is a long-term thing and they get greedy leaving no room left in the deal, #3, make sure you've disclosed evertything to all parties.

I'm just beginning but am considering a bigger commitment in the next five years or so by accessing some or even all retirement funds to buy a building (I'm sure people have thoughts on whether or not that is a good idea!).

Quote from @Fernando NA: Hello everyone,I’m considering purchasing a piece of land near Divide, CO, to build a small off-grid log cabin and list it on Airbnb or similar platforms.For those of you who live in the area or have experience with this, I have a few questions:>Is it possible to list such a property on Airbnb given the local regulations?

For example, it is not unusual for me and my business partner to buy 4-unit buildings for about $250k and be able to rent them out for $4,000+/mo. 

BRRRR deals can be trickier to come by in these spots due to their higher demand, but the way to go is to build a solid team with local connections who can share insights and bring you deals!
