Budget isn't really an issue and the plan would never be to do them myself long term but I remember with residential the way I learned best was to just immerse myself in the process then once I understood it, I'd hire myself out of it.

If you want to get rich tomorrow, gambling is the only way to go. 

The advantage of Airbnb vs Hotels is that they offer more of an experience and immersion into the place where they are located, and if the property isn’t offering that at a high level it won’t stand out among the rising supply of listings.

That's just gambling though.

But we aren't gambling in REI.

I realized that my personal goals were more aligned with that than growing a team and gambling on others to do their part.

I immersed myself in books, attended seminars, and sought guidance from mentors who had successfully navigated the challenges I faced.
