@Ragnar Lothbrok do not invest with anyone that you are not comfortable with or who is not willing to share the information.Please do not let it pull you off from investing with other syndicators.

Once im comfortable with my abilties and I get my credit score up I'll jump right in; it would be really awesome to use this site to find potential deals, local meetups, and mentorship down the line.

Then if you go the extra step and Airbnb your space while you are gone, you would definitely be able to live for free (and comfortably) and possibly pull in some cashflow. 

When I evaluated my house hack (townhome) I wanted to make sure it would cash flow well when I left, as well as it being comfortable to live in with roommates.

Once you're familiar with the steps, you'll feel comfortable and energized by the process.

A couple of days later, I saw that the 2 days we initially booked and canceled, were rebooked by someone else.I then contacted AirBNB asking if they would issue a full refund since the host is not out any money.AirBNB inquired with the host, and informed us he is refusing to issue a refund.I’m all for fairness, and wouldn’t have asked for a refund if the rental stayed vacant, however, it wasn’t and personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable keeping someone’s money if I wasn’t out anything.I’m wondering if I’m right in feeling that a refund is adequate or am I completely off.Thanks I’m advance.

I think ADU's are a great option for the buy and hold investor to maximize cash flow since you already own the dirt so adding units only has the construction cost aspect (and some soft costs associated with that).

What do you feel comfortable with? 

I want to work with someone who will LET ME KNOW of problems/ways I can maximize deductions well in advance.

If you don't feel comfortable saying that's perfectly fine you gave me enough information that I'm sure a good Google could assist me with however you've probably already done the research and that's why I was hoping to get your responses.thank you so much for your time and thoughtful answers.Lee
