@Will Morrison I'm extremely biased to the multiple account approach using the Profit First system that @Kevin Sobilo described since I authored Profit First for Real Estate Investing.

After having grown up in the business I am biased though

@Dmitriy Fomichenko & @Todd GoedekeMy statement was more general to the thread than specific to the one post about short term rental income.Our experience is that the marketing - very much including here on BP - has a very strong bias towards the Solo 401(k).  

So, maybe Bill is correct, and I should just tell Lonnie Dealers to stop doing what they are doing.As to your statement that the real estate industry is plagued (not to fond of that word choice - too biased) with people who want to be paid for helping you - I don't even know what to say.

I would be a minority person in every sense-race, gender, marital status, kids, age, occupation, etc.

Biggest organization of renters will happen in fall in LA some of the groups are national too so it applies to all statesHere's what they claim: This strategic statewide convening represents the historic growth of the power of renters to push for broad economic, racial and gender justice and advance a vision of an economy that works for families, communities and the environment, not billionaire real-estate tycoons, corporate landlords and Wall Street bankers.

Not trying to push Groundfloor (although I am biased), simply interested in establishing a dialogue on this topic as it relates to the Seattle market.

Obviously I'm biased, but have you looked in to cash flowing markets?

But I am biased in that I believe that your comfort has to come with the metro area and submarkets first.  

I am biased, but I believe it is a top cash flow market.
