It is a bigger issue in the city because the housing stock is older and that means more lead paint.

The IRS does not view these properties favorably and lumps them in with Stocks/Bonds/Membership in an entity etc...

For your situation, if it’s just once a year filing taxes, most CPAs charge $400 and goes up depending on how complicated they get.I started paying $400/year for my personal returns when I owned 1 property and a few stocks.

(Stock more inventory)Pumps.

Real estate us a better investment than business or the stock market.

And so, personally, I wouldn't put much stock in anything they say. 

We have about $100k wrapped up in the stock market and we could potentially get 60-70% of that from my understanding.

Also worth noting, unlike the stock market where you can buy into the broader market and the market price is set, real estate you are buying a single specific deal where prices are not set.

I'm holding cash in HYSAs and dabbling in the stock market after monster '23. 

I have been paying a lot of taxes every year from selling stocks and have a high W2.
