After decades of paying Fed and high state taxes, I discovered REI and the STR strategy and have resolved to accelerate our long-term wealth for our children and future grandbabies. I felt like the "lost decades" are not coming back so we need TURBO mode. Where am I on my REI journey? My wife and I had no prior REI background. We have been learning about REI but chanced on a mentorship program for full time job holders that gave us the courage to jump in with our first STR acquisition within 3 months of completing the program in 2024. Now we are at 3 self-managing and looking for more as we are months from being empty nesters with 2 kids in college. What is my #1 challenge at this current point in time? I think I have bookkeeping handled but the discipline to keep at it every month is something I am struggling with. But my #1 challenge is touching all parts of our STR business regularly so that nothing gets neglected. Tax pre-prep gets neglected as deadlines feel far way until they smack you in the face. At this time Hours tracking to comply with STR strategy requirements is the one I struggle with most. What is the easiest tool you found? I have strugged with spreadsheets, REPS Tracker, and other thing. Im so excited to be here and learn from everyone's wisdom.

First, I just wanted to say thank you to Ryan and his team for this amazing platform! I've been working through the content - recordings, community calls, templates, etc. SO much fantastic information and so organized! I love it❤️ I was hoping to join some of the calls today but I'm not sure if the Tax Strategy 365 Weekly Q&A calls are included in the "Light" agreement? The weekly Q&A and the Deal Calls appear to be locked on my end. If someone could clarify that for me and also briefly describe the difference between the coffee chat, weekly Q&A and the tax return client zooms, I would greatly appreciate it😊 As a newbie, I do have plenty of questions - but I also love to sit back and learn from everyone else. I always seem to learn at least one thing that I didn't know - I didn't know😉 TIA and have a wonderful weekend!!

Trying to decide on the location of our first STR is overwhelming. I welcome recommendations of anyone willing to share STR areas they love and see opportunity, and even places to absolutely stay away from. Feel free to message me if you prefer not to respond to the entire group. Thank you. - Chris
