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.

So, you'd charge the seller 0.6% and the buyers would be responsible for their agent's commission?

The strategy that I recommend is going to differ from the responses that I see at the time I'm writing my response.1.

When a child LLC (disregarded entity) is used to hold each property, and all of the tax reporting is done on the tax return of the parent entity, does each  individual child LLC need to file the BOI Report, or only the parent LLC? 

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.
