I believe that connecting with experienced investors and fellow newcomers will be invaluable as I navigate this path.I am particularly interested in short term rentals, multi-family rentals, and possibly fix and flips. 

Essentially gamifying the learning of real estate jargon, terms, laws, etc!

Leverage your construction skills for flips, start with smaller projects to minimize risk, and consider house hacking or long-term rentals for a steady income.

For many of us, our cost structure would be higher than yours (vacancy, turnover, maintenance, cap ex) over the long term.

It should include details like the purchase price, property description, and terms of sale.

you'll probably still need something long term like software as others have suggested but this was a thought i had... you could see the actual profit or loss from a tax perspective for each property.

By BRRRRing, you can achieve your goal of acquiring four houses with minimal effort and financial strain, allowing you to shift from buying to paying them off.

TurnKey, Buy-and-holds, flips, or maybe long-term rentals?

I am on pace to finish the course before the beginning of March and my short term goal is to join a brokerage firm before May.

I think there is a great chance to get some long term investments in areas where the growth is not happening yet or just starting to happen.
