Through a combination of odd circumstances I find myself looking for a new tax preparer and will be sure to ask up front now about expected costs.

Id line up these steps.1. consume education through books and podcasts.

I have gotten bookings for 30+ days on airbnb where in past years I've gotten hits through zillow right away.

at 3% those properties were cash flowing, but 7% puts them underwater.How would you go about finding properties that meet the above criteria?

I am still working through the details myself.

Thanks for navigating through my long winded post😊

@Michael Keffer your strongest position and calculation is when you have a full year where the property has cash flowed

The cash flow is good but people have complained either it was too old, or bad area. 

If you're looking to get funding, FTF is easy to work with on the borrowing side as well (I haven't been through the borrowing process personally, but I know other investors who have).Happy to answer any specific questions you might have, and Matt and his team are always happy to answer questions as well.

I'm sure you're having so many emotions (excitement/worry/thrill/etc.) run through your veins as you embark on this journey.
