When going to take a tour of a property that you have interest in, what are some “problems” you’re okay with and some “problems” that you steer clear of?

You do make a good point that agents would probably steer their clients to houses where they can make some money.

It may also require the filing of payroll tax returns.Partnership return can potentially provide a larger qualified business income deduction.You mentioned having a rental(buy and hold), if this is the case, I would steer far away from the S-Corp.Again, depends on all the facts and circumstances. 

Most of the sane people will steer you away from Arbitrage and will tell you to read the threads about it here.

You are operating under the assumption that all of the listing agents are unethical, and will steer their sellers into worse deals so they can make more money for themselves. 

Also steer clear of "We'll run your social media for $80/mo" type gigs. 

We used @Parker Borofsky for our lender who helped a great deal in steering us through the process of a "2nd Home/Vacation House" loan for our property.

This definitely helps me obtain the higher rents I’m pulling in.In regards to electric baseboard, I have had bad experience with them in my market and have been steered away from them by most heating professionals.

Just curious as I am a newbie to the RE arena, but I am hoping to get steered in the right direction. 

Alot of people check out the "new member introduction" section and hopefully you can connect better with investors that would be able to steer you in the right direction.
