Hi. I know every accountant is busy and not accepting a new client. 

However, my CPA doesn't seem to have any experience in STR loophole materially participated 501 hours in 2022 for an active investor with a full time W-2. For now, I had my current CPA extend my personal tax.

Any suggestions how to interview a new CPA I find them online randomly?

Quote from @Lauren Kormylo:

This sounds like a nightmare. These people have no concept of what it takes to run a successful STR. And you will never be able to split up their tasks evenly, they will never be satisfied with whatever is going on. And they won't have the time to run this as it should be done, as you said.

 @Lauren Kormylo. Thanks for helping me to head to a right direction. I agree. They wont never be appreciated of what we do.

Quote from @Michael Baum:

Hey @Jay Yoo, I would shy away from this whole deal. Firstly, they can't even respond to texts in a timely manner. You can bet that they won't be able to hold up their end of the work bargain. So for sure don't rely on them to do any work.

As far as cash, I would get an attorney and spell out the partnership agreement. No surprises, no questions.

I will tell you, nothing destroys friendships and family quicker than something like this that goes wrong.

It sounds like you are successful on your own and I would keep it that way. Eventually you are going to want to get back to yourself instead of partnerships and that takes time and money to disentangle.

My 2 cents my man.

 @Michael Baum thanks so much for your wise advise. In fact I told them nicely that I will walk away from this deal. It is hard to get the capital ready lately as the return is getting lower than before. Thanks for your golden tip!! Have a good day

BP members. Hope all is well

I run a few STR properties and performing great for all properties. Generating 20% return on cash on cash because I manage myself remotely.
so other friends, potential investors want to invest with me. So I proposed them the followings

 20/80 capital contributions and 

split equally on cash flow 

In the event of sale/ cashout re-fi, distribute 20/80 first until initial contribution is met, then splits equally for the remaining gain. 

I think this is fair for all as I provide sweat equity and others put capital  

Now They come back to me and they want to do the work and everyone contribute equally and split equally. 
some said.” I do interior design, I can setup property”

Some said, “I can do book keeping etc” 

But I know they are very busy business person not available for responding for text often. 

Their other concern is that this partnership is 4 people partners: two active and two passive, and they dont believe that it is not fair to the other active manager receiving 50% of sweat equity just because he is the one gathering this group, and not knowing ins and outs of STR operations

My response to that is that I will list of all the tasks from acquisition to closing to property setup/ software/ guest communication/ marketing/ revenue analysis. 
then lets see who can do what in order to compensate them fairly. 

Do you have any suggestions? They can be investors but friendship is important to me too. 
thanks for reading all! 

Post: Short term rental out of state

Hi everyone

I live in Wa state and have a property in FL under contract.

I know that people suggest to contact professionals anything about taxes and legal inquiries, which I will.

I just want to educate myself. As you know, residential investment property, lenders will only lend if you buy with your own name unless you have extensive track records to be qualified for a portfolio loan or buy with cash in order to buy under LLC.

Should I work with a CPA in FL or in WA state?

Thank you in advance.

Post: Aircover experience anyone?

Hello

I decided to go with AirCover and home owner’s insurance to cover when it’s vacant.

I hear mixed review on Aircover as Airbnb always had it before but many uses 3rd party addition insurance to cover guests.

Would you share some insights if you have experience with Aircover? Thank you

P.s. Sorry I couldn’t find any threads regarding AirCover.
