The one thing that may cause a problem is lenders not taking the short term rental income if it has not yet been stated on your taxes.

You have to cover all the bases, even a situation if you wind up losing money on the deal, make more than you thought, if it takes 6 months to sell or even if one of you dies. 

I'm not bad-mouthing coaches or mentors, I'm just saying you don't need to pay for one yet.

If you want to have one, fine, but they are unnecessary for a small business model like yours, just another expense as far as I'm concerned.

Curious to see if anyone on here has had any luck finding one?

Transitioning from one field to another can be daunting, but you've come to the right place to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded people.It's awesome that you've already dived into some real estate reading; that curiosity and willingness to absorb information will definitely help you as you figure out your next steps.

I BELIEVE it’s just a sticking point not a prohibited one like it is with self directed Ira’s.

After one week of ownership, using the Binder Strategy from the Dion Talk I was able to increase rents to $1,200 m/o a 36.6% rent increase while having the tenants stating I am the most solid landlord they have had after doing minor repairs for rent increase !

I have a few realtors that recommend me regularly and they would not take a referral bonus even if I offered one. 

Real estate can be tough, but I’m a big believer that with the right support and community, we can all succeed and spread our knowledge to one another.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
