Jay what you've got to understand about Josh is the fact he is simply lying.  

It simply depends on your time frame, when you want to actually begin renting the property out short term, and what the loan terms are.

Look, I have no idea who Eric is, what type of person he is but I will say after a quick search I saw that he did in fact sell his company for MAJOR $$$ and that he is active in Section 8, no idea if his course is good or garbage but still felt the urge to respond because I am so tired of hearing SCAMMER, find it online to EVERY SINGLE post asking about any course. anyone who actually sells their business and nets 110 mil is NOT going to dive into Section 8 or any real estate for that matter other than fine personal residences etc.. they retire and spend it.. so I dont think so.Plus section 8 is simply not complicated its run by the Sec 8 folks in each city.. nothing magical about that.. its a tough way to go being a section 8 landlord lots of drama.

While I usually think people have the best intentions, as someone working with you for the first time, it is truly hard not to have the thought cross my mind that the pro forma provided by Jennifer Lucero was inflated by Southern Impression Homes simply to make the sale. 

For consulting with a CPA.As mentioned above you can simply take monthly distributions, but what is most important is how you are set up. 

Without rent control i either raise their rent far above market rents so they give me notice (my preferred method) or i simply do not renew their lease.

If the claim can be disputed, OTA disputes it and makes it hard to collect and the host may simply give up.i think pm, airBnB, guest and LL all know who was responsible for the vape in the toilet, but ota did not charge guest or pay for it and gave the guest a discount (a discount for an issue that the guest was responsible for).  

Anthony,You would be surprised by using some old school methods like simply writing a letter like you mentioned. 

My favorite way is is simply using Pricelabs using a comp set, OR using Airbnb itself to see what your direct competition is.

There simply isn't enough margin in this business to layer on a national company, without charging you an arm and a leg and/or doing a substandard job.
