Here’s a concise response for the post:As a CPA who’s been doing accounting since 2013, I always recommend QuickBooks Online for real estate investors because I find it to be the most user-friendly.

Hi Tanya, Sorry for the delayed response, new to posting here!

I appreciate the input and the quick response.

I’ve texted him various times but the responses are inconsistent.

Thank you for the response. 

The guests that booked through Booking.com, who did not cancel ahead of their check-in date, were good guests, but we didn't receive near the response rate for guest feedback that we do from Airbnb and VRBO.

Its my understanding that the individuals are responsible for all the legalities, contracts ect to make it safe not to get ripped off. 

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 😊 Thanks for the response and insight Anthony.

But then, if other people invest with them and lose money as a result, I'll feel partly responsible for not having warned people.You have already invested so my message was mostly addressed to everybody else to remind people them of the importance of doing a proper due diligence.

@Tim JacobThank you so much for your response.
