My personal experience, I majored in economics with a focus in business analytics but what’s worked for me and I think is a good path is to major in something that will maximize your W2 earning potential and use the money to invest in real estate.

What I would love to know you would funnel potential tenants and how you would do a background check, also what kind of rules have you set in place for your own house hack?

This means they could be pursued for repayment or potentially face legal action to recover the lender's losses.

I am looking for insurance to adequately cover my liability as a potential STR as this is not my primary property.

I’m still researching this.

Also, if you list the property at the higher rate because you’re including SOME of the electric utilities (because you won’t be able to eliminate 100% of the bill.) you’re going to lose potential tenants that are filtering by rent and/or see similar properties for less, causing longer vacancies.

Earnest money, inspections and potential losses of the seller?

What is the best way to find a potential buyer without listing it on the mls.

I will research Catalyst to get a better idea of the services.
