@Gino Barbaro I would argue in some ways you were smarter:) You got the difficult aspects out of the way first!

I personally don't like the Class A aspect because those get hurt the most in a recession.

ArnThis is another aspect of real estate.

If you really need someone to walk you through it then maybe find a private coach who works directly with you and tailors their advice to your situation. 

Before taking the plunge into your first investment property, meticulously analyze the property's financial aspects, vacancy rates, and potential expenses.

Really insightful on all aspects of the topic.

The “limited” aspect refers to focusing on areas critical for the project at hand, rather than a full topographic survey of the entire property, which might be necessary for larger-scale developments.

Take existing material, repackage it and remove all the negative aspects, then do a hard sell over the web?

*This is the new aspect for me, so if you guys have any extra tips like "try calling the utilities rather than doing a search", or "always double check with the zoning & permitting boards if you plan on doing STR for air b&b licenses", or even seeing if there are any extraneous departments that can cause headaches later like city inspector or the fire marshal, or some other thing that would be good to know about.Thanks so much in advance everyone --Side note, it is so refreshing to come to a site where people *want* to learn about title.

I would still suggest enlisting the services of a professional, however, as someone with more in-depth knowledge of your situation would be able to give a much more personalized and tailored answer for you.EDIT: I can only think of one reason off the top of my head where amending a previous year's return is the correct way to do something that you couldn't otherwise do when filing an original return.
