@Chris KittleI was not directing it to you but many vendors push elaborate schemes and use fear tactics to sell some of these strategies.  

It's a range and depends on the property type, location, end condition and rental strategy. 

Given your experience, what do you think about this strategy?

I like the strategy of having a job with guaranteed income and taking advantage of owner occupied financing to purchase a house hack, staying connected with the REI community in the area, and scaling up from there.

Used houses in the area sell anywhere from $75-125 a square foot.These are long term rentals that I do not plan to sell.I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

The sooner you regain control, prove that you fully intend to enforce the terms of your lease, and that you will not be 'played' by their recall of events or documents, the more effective this action will be.  

A CPA can ensure proper filing of rental income on Schedule E and help identify tax-saving strategies, such as optimizing deductions for maintenance, repairs, and travel.

My first suggestion is to get them to write down an investment strategy. 

After watching some of the podcasts and reading posts I am set on starting my real estate journey utilizing the house hacking strategy.
