I remember one guy in the S.F.Bay area that found a site for a new Pepsi plant when Pepsi was unable to find one and made a very large finders fee, his mistake he got involved in the deal to far instead of stopping at the introduction phase and the Pepsi lawyers used that to not pay his finders fee, but only waiting until it was almost time to pay him and the deal was basically done.

@Jahid M.Starting a rental business involves researching local regulations, using platforms like Airbnb and VRBO for short-term rentals, targeting mid-term rentals like traveling nurses or business professionals, and considering Section 8 tenants for stable income.

Hi, I have been deeply involved in researching and learning about house hacking.

From my perusal of what the software offers, it appears to be quite comprehensive both on the management and accounting side and the monthly cost is not excessive.However, I wanted to check in with fellow investors on this platform to see if anyone is currently using or have used STESSA and what has been their experience, particularly on the security, functionality, user friendliness and stability of the online software system.Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
