My real estate journey began in 2015 when I met a guy while on vacation in Cabo who owned a bunch of rental properties.

Though, if I found a place with 2 units or a beach condo I could live in when the kids are with dad and use for vacations (over 50% of time) that I could Air BNB out, I could make an owner-occupied house hack.And, through the power of Google and FB, I'm now getting hit with TONS of ads for real estate training courses, hard money lenders, and services that are supposed to help find leads, but I know they are ads, and really need to figure out how to vet all this stuff.Any suggestions for someone very serious but just starting out?

One of these prefab could be a good option for a vacation home in the right location.

So I'm diving in.My life long dreams were to own an apartment building in all 50 states or multiple vacation properties.Being in Cali, prices seem high. 

Vacation rental?

On the 7th day they finally vacated. 

I'm very eager to get started in real estate, but terrified of becoming trapped with a tenant horror story who doesn't pay rent and trashed the place prior to an eviction. I'm considering purchasing a beachfront condo...

Greetings,I have just found the bigger pockets community after listening to hours and hours of Bigger Pockets podcasts while driving on my last family vacation.

I have a single family home vacation rental property in Seattle.  

My wife and I went to Fallingwater, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed vacation home, just south of where I live.
