My goal is to build $10k of passive income from rentals and become debt free - meaning paying off all of my mortgages (home and investments).

You will have lots of experience and knowledge from owning this unit.

I have done things with attorneys, CPAs, stock brokers, insurance brokers and others successful in business.General business knowledge, understanding of financing requirements, knowing property valuations, maturity in personal financial matters to give general advice, understanding of the foreclosure process, legal aspects as to liability in leading someone into financial matters, fully understanding fraud issues and the differences in a general matter where fraud might be applied as generally thought of and what may constitute bank fraud causing or even attempting to cause a loss to an insured bank having different standards.

Yeah mostly we just give small credit here but these days in our area seller only accept with no contingency at all and giving seller free rent 

etc.Here are some other bullet points if you need more info:- The PA properties are owned free and clear, in my name- The PA SFH is likely to be a long term rental (renovations currently) and will net around $1,500-$1,700/month if I don't borrow against it- The NC properties have mortgages, and are held in my name- I have a lawyer negotiating the solar deal, and have not signed anything yet, but is nearly a done deal- Unsure if solar proceeds have to go directly to me, or can go to a business I own- I'm unmarried and investing by myself/no partners- W2 is between $70-$85k/year- I don't yet have an accountant, but am going to be hiring one and discussing strategy with themThanks so much for your opinions!

North-east Charlotte and The Triad area.Would you recommend any knowledgeable builders and GCs who have experience in multi-family new construction?

Feel free to ask me any follow up questions you might have.Chris

I would say attend FREE local real estate meetups in your area.

Some people treat their STR like a hobby and others treat it like a business.You don’t know the numbers are based on if owners use it 3 months a year themselves, or manage it themselves and have STR knowledge or farm it out to a competent or incompetent property manager.In one area I invest in, the biggest players are all large direct booking sites with hundreds of properties so their revenue doesn’t show up on airDNA, etc.Use conservative numbers and understand your skills in terms of getting a property to be unique, marketing, listing management, etc. or the competency of the PMs you are interviewing.Good luck!

Also, it's easy to get to Vail Village and Lionshead with the free Town of Vail East Vail Bus.
