A few favorites of mine are set for life by scott trench, Househacking strategy by craig curelop and millionare next door.2.

Only thing is other than personal finance, what other methods are there for funding, buy, rehab, rent out and hold type deals.

A lot of mistakes can be made if you do not talk to the right people and use preventive maintenance to avoid problems.Multifamily rentals are a great way to use the more doors more cash flow method.

I suppose one method would be to use seller reported figures but that wouldn't be prudent for many obvious reasons. 

This method saves time and keeps a record of everything you or your employees ever told them. 

Ive never had a guest before or since successfully book without payment fully clearing their financial method of choice. 

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.

Any online method i can ask tenant to use that can deposit the amount to my bank account which is free for tenants and safe method for me to use. i had issue with one of the check send by tenants (not a tenant fault)and i was about to fall into scam as i tried to deposit the check online but now want to stay away from Checks. venmo/zelle doesn't allow bigger amount transfer.

However, you would need to speak/hire a securities attorney first, determine which rule you're going to use for your syndication, and then start talking to investors based on methods the ruling dictates to use.

Your goal when renovating is to create a warm, comfortable and spacious environment.Typically this is done by using good lighting methods lighter colors with some sort of accent color and creating an open floor plan.For flooring, I would recommend using a lighter oak color.
