@Jerry Zigounakis For your STR in Big Bear, forming a CA LLC is ideal for liability protection, even with the $800 annual franchise tax and possible gross receipts fees.

These folks wont tell you not to pay them massive fees! 

Then they'll charge an additional $2,400 for filing tax returns. 

Would recommend.I will be using the firm for my 2022 tax return (1040 and 3 LLC's), expensive (about $5k-6k) but given they've assisted with the tax planning I'm hopeful the synergy will provide the best outcome.Happy to answer any add'l questions.Pat  Hi Pat,Just want to confirm, that is HallCPA fee for filling 2022 tax for one 1040 and 3 LLCs?

Quote from @Brady Morgan: I always rent an excavator and do it myself.. much cheaper than what the guys around here charge.

But a specialist could be helpful if you have unique situations, want to explore advanced strategies, or simply save time.Cost varies - some charge hourly, some a flat fee.I'd recommend checking the tax pro button on top of the page and scheduling a free consultation.

Quote from @Jonathan Bombaci: This year, our management company, which oversees 700+ units in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, spent over $209,000 on attorney fees, primarily related to evictions.

With an invoice showing "no charge" for fixing the cupboard, this hopefully can't happen again if a contractor changes did mind or has some type of mental lapse.  

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Once the tenant moves out you are allowed to charge any amount you like.
