Contact the title company that handled the close or one you know and chat with them about how these units actually exist. 

Any input on any of these questions would be much appreciated and / or any folks who would be willing to chat in more detail for 30 minutes or an hour - more than happy to compensate for your time.

I'm looking for something my family could use 2-3 times per year as our vacation home and then AirBnB the rest of the time.I've looked an AirDNA, TikTock (good and bad there), and YouTube videos about other people experiences, but I'm hoping to really dive into my hyper local area to understand the math and "effort" to keep it profitable.Thanks,

I have seen plenty of videos talking about it but of course have no idea if these are legitimate methods as I have never rehabbed a house and therefore have no clue if these values are anywhere near correct.

The combination of debt paydown, equity build, and appreciation and time are what build wealth.I would suggest taking a couple months to network on BP...setup your keywords, follow the forums and a market will appear...I'm personally big on Columbus, Oh because I live and work here...but you will find some really well qualified investor agents on BP that can speed up your learning curve by doing some 30-minute interviews with them...unfortunately, you can't escape the legwork.Always glad to chat more on our location or investing in general.

Feel free to PM me to chat further as well.

It would be great to have a chat with you.

Is it possible to make DIY interior updates watching YouTube videos?

Definitely get out to some meetups asap but also absorb as much info from youtube videos, podcasts, etc.

I'm interning with a commercial real estate investment firm and the owner has become my mentor, I've read tons of books, watched tons of videos, listen to BiggerPockets podcasts, etc. so I feel that I am ready to start seriously looking for my first deal.
