Reading the books and listening to the podcast it should be easy.

Owning/managing an STR is not as simple or straightforward as standard rentals and to successfully run them you need to have good systems and procedures in place to sustain them.   

My real estate experience is mostly education from podcasts and books I've been reading so I wanted to get in person applicable experience.

I have my car financed through them and they had great introductory offer and standard rates.

I am reading one of Robert Kiyosaki's books and he talks about debt vs equity to obtain wealth.

Personal loans don't really come up in the podcasts I have listened to so far or in the books I have read so there must be something I am missing.Thanks for your help!

I have been learning by listening to podcasts, watching youtube videos, and reading books and blog posts (the BiggerPockets web site has good specific recommendations).

I am currently making my way through Brandon Turner's property rental book and one of my questions is, during your analysis of the property and initial estimates- how do you account for property tax - or the potential for it to eat up your cashflow at some point?

Some of the podcasts and books talk about how "you can be the lender."
