I've been informed that completing the course alone may not be sufficient to pass the exam, so I’m seeking advice on how to prepare effectively once I complete it.Currently, my only other resources include a YouTube video, five practice exams, and a textbook.If you have any additional suggestions—whether online or in-person, paid or free—that could help me effectively prepare for the exam, I would greatly appreciate them.

Additionally, since my parents are nearing the retirement age, I'd like to prioritize low-debt, high-cashflow deals.

Principal balance currently at 314kProperty Details: It's essentially a "2-in-1" property, with the main unit rented out for $1,900/month and an attached ADU bringing in an additional $1,200/month.

Additionally, I really want to dive into the property management realm and am passionate about connecting and assisting other Veterans and Active Duty. 

Figured there would be a few data points left out of the equation' that I would need to circle back with :) .There are additional units not rented at this time which could be rented to increase the income.

In addition to my work as an arborist, I am a hobbyist part-time real estate investor with a passion for expanding my portfolio of long-term rentals and exploring property flipping.My goal is to connect with like-minded investors and professionals, share experiences, and grow in the real estate investing world.

This initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow.  2) the addition of the adu makes the property multi family and likely makes rent control apply.  

But this comes with pockets of C/D neighborhoods, and higher potential for headaches;  in addition, appreciation in these zips has probably maxed out for a while.
