By the way, I couldn't find the thread you were referring to, but have come across several other interesting ones, so thanks for that. 

@Scott Bell he is most likely referring to Deal Machine.

The owner was referred to me by a mutual friend who I had asked about buying some of his properties.

If you rent out the other rooms on a full-time basis, then it becomes a rental property... or a 2nd house in which you are house-hacking.Your CPA is referring to the passive loss limitations on deducting rental property losses against your ordinary or W-2 income.

Just posted for reference of cool Airbnb’s.

I have some great subs who i could refer also PM me. 

So what deposit are you referring to in the original post?

Take a ton of pictures to be able to reference later.

Referring to distressed properties with good numbers.What's your guess?

I usually try to find someone above a 615 score and then call one of their references.
