It seems like investors strongly bet on appreciation here which I dislike.

Submarket is showing strong gentrification.  

The city's population growth, strong rental demand, and job opportunities in tech, logistics, and military sectors make it a reliable choice.

A tough thing we've found though (like you mentioned) is even the highly rated foundation folks in our area -- as well as a lot of the content online -- all have a strong incentive to sell big high-margin solutions.

Branson’s ongoing development also offers strong potential for appreciation.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, if you have a competent CPA or bookkeeper they should be able to review your books and within minutes have a strong grasp on who gets a 1099 (spoiler alert, not every contractor gets one, I'll be annoyed if I get one since I'm structured as an S corporation) and the amounts to report.1099 filings are usually a loss leader for us, so if you're working with a professional make sure you take advantage of them filing everything for you.
