Are you focusing on a long term rental, medium term rental (30 days to 6 months), short term rental, or a live in house hack? 

Used to code for a living way back when, but now I've been swinging a hammer in construction for almost a decade.

local vs. virtual - if the greatest REI bookkeeper lives down the street from you, that means that your books only get done when they can physically get to you.

their bookkeeping software leaves a bit to be desired though, i always have trouble connecting my bank accts so i just manually upload the file monthly now. i'll live. i like how simple it is. with RR tenants can pay through the app, they get reminders, you can manually send reminders, they can make partial payments throughout the month, you can pay $5/unit to have their on-time payments reported to the credit bureau to help build their credit, you can do apps and background/credit/eviction report on there.. and yeah in MA there are just so many stipulations around how security deposits can be used i'd rather just not even deal with it. 

The issue is there are too many of these “gurus” on social media that are preaching S8 to everyone and how great it is.

My question is, if I can read most of the information given at sessions, and network with people in my region, or social media, what is the benefit of taking 3-4 days off work and spending a couple grand (entrance, flight, food, lodging)? 

I noticed you are living in a duplex since you mentioned one side being rented out and you’re living basically rent-free.

We live north of Pittsburgh, so I am open to direct referrals or someone who can just tell me what service to search for.Thank you!

Living with others / strangers isn't easy.

Since I don't live in Myrtle beach I need help figuring out which areas to look into and which areas stay away from.
