For instance, posting a home could potentially violate various laws that listing agents are trained to navigate, such as Fair Housing regulations and the recent NAR settlement.I’d recommend establishing a solid relationship with a listing agent.

Most of them are not EAs and a few in each office just started this year.As an EA myself for almost 30 years and someone who has trained multiple other EAs - no, EA designation does not mean that the person is more qualified to prepare taxes, much less that the person is knowledgeable in real estate.

But they are getting the advice from people who are either (1) not qualified or experienced enough to rely on their advice (2) biased to some degree, perhaps unintentionally, by their background, business interests, training, etc, or (3) providing advice in a general sense without a thorough understanding of the questioners personal situation or ALL the relevant facts. 

When you want to get into some of the more technical stuff like modeling deals in excel I've found that Justin Kivel's material is really useful and I've used his stuff to train some people in my office, check him out!.

@Mariangela Ciciarelli I wouldn't advise having your first STR in the Orlando/Kissimmee market specialty if you plan on self managing.

Large cabins are like a train...slow to start but once they get rolling they just don't stop producing. 

Do they pay for vacation pay, medical insurance, workers comp, payroll taxes, PTO & holidays, ongoing training, trucks & commercial vehicle insurance, liability insurance, admins, marketing, SEO, liability insurance, bonding fees, licensing fees?

What is not talked about as people are embarrased to is how many are losing money from these guru trainings vs. how many make $.
