A lot of that is referral based or people find my site online, organically. 

Quickbooks online could work for what you need.  

They got Jared a policy that ran around $4,100 a year, which wasn’t exactly pocket change, but it felt like a workable number once he factored in the premium he could charge per night.

In reality, the neighbor can definitely get rough, but its fine to walk on the street there during the day and in some parts at night.

I have a Booking.com guest in one of my properties right now and he is fabulous - 8 night stay for the holiday.  

I just can't find ANYTHING online that isn't from Chris or his team. 

The only way to answer that in general (whether house hacking in today's market is still a good option) or for a particular property, is to learn how to run the numbers and analyze a specific property to see whether it will be able to stand on its own as an investment when you move out someday.There are a lot of resources here on BP for doing that but I'd just say, make sure the assumptions you're putting into your spreadsheet or deal analyzer are realistic.Make sure the rents (especially for vacant units or pro-forma #s) are realistic by doing your own rent comps; make sure the mortgage rate is realistic by doing some research online and/or talking to some mortgage folks; make sure insurance #s are realistic by getting a couple of quotes for the # of units and zip code / area you're looking in; etc.I hope that helps, and good luck 😊

So since may I reached an occupancy about 70%, but the daily rate is as low as 50usd/night.

But i guess in today's world where things are on line and investors are used to Internet communications this is much easier than those days.

Are there any good resources online to be able to get an idea of average monthly/yearly expenses like utilities, etc. for a given zip or city?
