I'm also looking for a dependable mentor and a partner but my only caveat is that I'm currently employed full time in the software industry and do not plan on quitting my job anytime soon.

I’m exploring the idea of using one of the vacation rental software systems with my Airbnbs.

Most good tax software should have many of those answers but I’ve used a cpa for the last 10 years so my info is out of date.
