I’m relatively new in my STR/MTR journey (but have extensive LTR property management and investing experience).

I did look into classes but I am a hands on person and like the "experience is the best teacher" saying.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I would skip this for sure.Agreed, it's not legal or proper to give out the names or phone numbers of your borrowers without their permission.There's absolutely nothing inappropriate or unseemly about offering up borrowers willing to share their lender experiences with another potential borrower.The private lending landscape is littered with scammers and bad actors.

Does anyone have any recent experience working with Partner Driven Real Estate Company?

I'll go ahead and warn you that house hacking is addicting and may lead to the purchase of additional properties haha. 

Additionally, home had been neglected for a while but with a few good hands-on deck it was restored to its intended beauty.

Likely to get quicker gain, but without experience and low money down, your risk will shoot up exponentially.

Hey, guys...Does anyone have any experience working with Bluprint Home Loans?
