After a few hours on the BP website, a few messages and a 30 minute phone call later, I now have the agent that will be the first member of my team.

It sounds like you've done a lot of research, which is awesome, but don't be afraid to make some phone calls and start getting into the weeds!

Writing from my phone so it might be a bit fragmented!

@Stephen Jones whoops - looking at posts on your phone is hazardous to answers.

@Gaspare RandazzoI would provide links, but cannot do so on my phone easily….Here are four books you should strongly consider reading to gain a better tax understanding…Every Landlords Tax Guide (it’s a NOLO book and believe Fishman is the author.)Loopholes of Real Estate (Wheelright is author)And there are 2 BP books written by Amanda Han who owns her own firm on the west coast.All 4 of these books are great for new investors wanting to understand the tax side.You might also consider following the tax forum here in BP.

If I can show how popular STR is in this area, even with mobile homes, can I find a commercial loan for the 7 acres and the house, based on the expected rental income?

Can call direct on the cell phone and respond promptly.

How to Create Wealth Investing in real estate: Grant Cardone (Great to get started, and visualize your journey forward), and Lifestyle Investor:Justin Donald (great for mobile home parks and general investment thinking), Am I Being too Subtle: Sam Zell ( Not specific to multifamily, but really good to understand Sam Zells journey spanning a few decades and financial forces which contributed to his great fortune).

Working on my phone script trying to find a good one and tweak it to my liking.  

This young woman is only 17 years old (she lied to me over the phone stating she was 18) so that is why her father is involved I presume.
