From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions.

Rooming houses usually don't get to take advantage of sporting events, concerts, festivals that usually result in spikes in rental fees and more profits ( and glory) that AirBnb and other STRs get to.

That's what I've heard from others and read online as well.

Though I appreciate the idea of finding online resources and studying them, I find that a curated, tried and true formula (if it works) is much more worth my time than spending time trying to find which resource works best and then spitballing the ideas until something sticks. 

Network (in-person events and online BP)3. 

Here, once you have an account and a bit of lending experience, you can access the online, fill-in-the-blank templates to create your own set of documents. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Paying for an online course before you know other investors and have gone to meetups is just paying to procrastinate.

Even though I myself have a S8 rental, what you hear online is completely false.

Every contact I needed for insurance, mortgage and cleaners were done online, mostly through connections from BP.
