For more active learning, look for a nearby meetup and attend a conference or two yearly hosted by the names we all see in the multifamily syndication space*. 

My team is actually hosting a meet up this Wednesday at 6 PM at Blake Street Tavern for house hackers/landlords/STRs.

We also host a monthly investors meeting the third Monday of each month from 5 - 7 PM in Palm Bay. 

We have a short term rental property in Columbia, SC where we host traveling professionals for 3 months-1 year on a short term, furnished basis.

If you are in the Longmont area, I host a monthly meetup.

Bundle Deal with first flip.

When we first started we wanted someone to guide us but no one would so now that we have established our business we host a real estate meeting for all types of investors the third Monday of each month, and another meeting for only wholesalers on the first Monday of each month. 

A PM that will just act as a co-host on your listing that way if you want to self manage or switch PM's you do not have to start your business over.

Also, should I just bite the bullet and replace all the old kitchen appliances to get a reduced price (bundle deal)?

I don't want to give away free stays (saw that in another host's post about a mosquito bite).Since I'm new to managing properties, I'm reaching out to the community for help.
