I'm househacking my home and renting out the extra rooms to others so they will be my roommates at the end of the day.

Andrew, honestly just keep going.You'll be worth 8 figures soon.Not many people love their jobs, but it puts food on the table and you are clearly good at it if you've been doing it so long.Use some extra income to start getting into RE investing.If you get a seller to carry 15% in 2nd position, you just need a 10% down payment.Its tough to do but everything in life takes sacrifice.

If your average heating bill is $150, you may not collect enough in the winter months when the bill reaches $225 but you'll collect extra in the summer when it drops to $65.

I appreciate that Propwire is free, so I'll continue to use it unless the data proves to be inaccurate. 

When you look into the data, they all fall apart quickly.

I agree that all carryover data should be provided regardless of how bloated the return is.

Like Martin mentioned, I can buy my own property in other foreign countries  and make significantly higher returns (which, incidentally, is what I've been doing).So with the same amount of money that I could invest in a shared villa, I do more profitable investments, make more money and then buy my own property in Costa Rica with the extra money I'll have made and it can be a pure lifestyle purchase.This being said, if you put together a group of like-minded people who can put some money aside, decide to purchase a property together, don't really care about the return and love Costa Rica (otherwise you could do the same somewhere else), I agree that what you do can be a lot of fun!

I have heard that Deal machine now includes Skip tracing so you don’t need that (assuming the data is there and is good).

I am not in Dothan, I am in Hawaii but I have been extra interested in Dothan for some years now.
