@Zeke Nickiei believe partnering is an intermediate to advanced strategystart with a house hack, keep learning from there, and look to partner once you've built up a portfolio / some expertise in somethinggood luck

So, it’s advisable to get your credit score to 680 or above and keep your personal finances in good standing.

I am going to drive for dollars and was going to print mailers from my vehicle to deposit into mailboxes.

I first dismissed it as a way to race to the bottom so that they can keep making cashola off us like AirBNB's does.

Also, keep some extra cash on hand in case you don't have renters for a while or need to fix something.

Keep educating yourself.

We don’t have a lot of debt on these units, 60% LTV, which keeps the cash flow higher, but that is about 100% of total investment in the property, if not a bit more-cash out refi after holding for 3-5 years.

In addition, can you introduce some references explaining how to keep records acceptable for CPAs? 

I sell STRs on the Emerald and Forgotten Coasts of Florida, and my company teaches investors how to self-manage their STRs and keep that 20%+ property management fee in their OWN pocket. 

Can always find some vehicle to accept it.
