I am not aware of the zoning, don't have enough contacts here so I figured Its better for me to focus and start with renting ideally to get my hand on RE.Regarding my finances: Last 2 years had some small private biz (1099).

How Technology Changed My Real Estate Business in the Last 25 Years25 years ago I decided to “formalize” by hard money / private money investments and start an investment fund and syndicate these note opportunities.

It was hard to say goodbye to my babies I started this journey back in 2006 (18 years ago) The truly sobering thing about this event is that I was able to achieve these same financial results in ONE year with my first larger commercial deal; and replace my wife's income with that deal.  

We started off on a good note with the tenant, he paid his rent on time, and so we didn't have a real reason to get too involved.

This may be a good start. 

We are looking to invest out of state, and we have small cash to start.

In my opinion, it's THE best rental to hold in a landlord/investor perspective, AND it is the most complex and detailed to start into. 

I have already started researching Andy and reached out to Justin too, thanks for those contacts.

When we started, we broke even.

At 10:30am our cleaner will start knocking on the door.One time we had a guest not leave until 11:00am and we charged him a $100 late fee that Airbnb paid us and we gave him a bad review.Hope that helps!
