Post: Managing Business Income & Expenses for Tax Purposes

Hi All,

I'm looking to separate my rental income and expenses into a separate bank account and credit card. This is to make it easier for me to track everything for tax purposes. 
Does anyone have recommendations on best cards / accounts to use? Also any accounting software recommendations? Thanks!

Has anyone found any clubs or worthwhile people to follow on Clubhouse? Would you like to? I'm happy to host if people on the forum have specific topics they'd like to dive into.

Audience

Investors of all levels, agents, insurance brokers, and anyone generally interested in networking/learning from others

1. Introductions: who you are, how long you've been in Real Estate, what you're hoping to learn, gain from these meetups, what you're hoping to be able to share with others

2. Winter Storm Fallout & Learnings: How is everyone coping with the storm? Has it changed how you'll manage or evaluate your properties in the future?

3. Investing in a hot market: how has the surging interest in the Austin market changed your approach to investing? Have you had to update your strategies to find properties which match your investing criteria?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to garner interest in a virtual meetup in the next week or so once Austin has thawed. I jotted down a few thought starter topics below but happy to open it up to other areas if there is strong interest. Let me know in the comments if you're interested and I'll get something set up!

Post: Are you investing in self storage?

@Nathan Gesner & @Paul Moore - thank you both for sharing your experiences in self storage. I've recently been turned on to the space after having difficulties finding multifamily properties that will cash flow in my area (to @Paul Moore point about the market being overheated).

How did you go about finding and evaluating storage opportunities? The framework for residential is fairly clean cut but I'm new to the commercial landscape. Any books, podcasts, thought leaders, in the space you would recommend I checkout?

Absolutely and that's my intent at least to start out but I wanted to factor in those costs in the event I do migrate it over to a property manager.
