Hi Eric....STR can be tough in DFW area, but some people still doing well, while many are bailing, seeing if they can turn them to MTR or even LTR. 

The season of Bigger Pockets investors posting 10 nearly identical "Looking for a CPA" messages per day.Disclosure: I am one of those people you are looking for.

Also, why do you think so many people are advised to get an LLC when starting in RE investing? 

Many people are only making $50k or so on $800k-$1M properties. 

Before the income subject to UBIT is calculated you can depreciate and deduct expenses and losses on that portion of the income so generally it's not as bad as people think. 

It might because they don't want any random person just setup a property management software to make it look legit and using it to scam people (tenants)

I've heard more than a few horror stories about people who lost everything doing just that. 

. , I didn't want it to loose that tenant so simply i helped him to get " energy assistance" this is a program to help people out if they can't afford heating bills , I don't know if it is in your state so you my want to check this out.

People are no different.Best wishes.

I faced numerous hurdles and stressful moments, but I persevered and built a successful approach.To tackle this challenge, I recommend starting early by building relationships and seeking investors.
