Unless someone is starting a cult, you probably won't even have 8 adults in a SFH anyways. 

It will still be a period of time before rates start to come down further and it will take months before it is felt on the for sale market.

I have been investing for awhile but have only recently started picking up properties that I know will not cashflow because of the prices in the area I invest (Dallas/Fort Worth) and the higher rates.I am still picking them up because it will still pay down debt and provide me with depreciation that I can use to offset my flipping and lending income.

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.

@Manuel A Zuaznabarcan you start with a house hack

Wanted outcome: I want to keep some version of an affordable residence for my kids to use as they start out in early adulthood.

Hello all,I am interested in beginning my investment journey within the next 6- 8 months and start by building my network and learning from people that have already done it.

(I bought it 3 years ago)I'm trying to see how long in the future I will need to do another gut renovation, so I can start saving up some money toward it.Things are in pretty good shape.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.
