Did a lot of people leave this site?

Welcome to the site and best of luck on the journey! 

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.There are over 20 real estate accountants on this site.

I found a LOT of success with a site called Furnished Finder as well. 

Their income reports are great.Really easy to export constant changes to Airbnb, VRBO, direct site.

A screen shot with the URL and date at the bottom is necessary.

For example, if your place rents for $3500 (and lets assume 6% vacancy) Nomad charges 4% with a flat $1250 listing fee to take professional pictures and list it on 20 different sites for you that would cost $2697.60 for the year. 

Also make sure that you're up to date on the rules for the city state and county as it pertains to rooming houses and factor in higher than average insurance costs as you do your DD.

Seems like he had a podcast about a year ago where he discussed most of his investment concepts are somewhat dated right now and were really for a different era or economic environment.Probably what works best right now is rent by the room/house hack. 

This is what I and many many others on this site did when we started. 25 is a great age to work very hard and see benefits in a very short time compared to a 35 year old with kids who has to outsource everything shooting for a 8-12% returns due to life obligations.
