It is very effective in and of itself so it is something that can be done reasonably cheap without taking a ton of time.https://www.greengluecompany.com/

I believe that while it is a buyers market and renters market right now, these conditions will change within 5 years, because: - The long-term fundamentals that drive people to migrate to Florida remain unchanged, and a steady influx is a reasonable expectation. - Supply will abate. 2026 and 2027 will see less than half the deliveries nationwide of of 2024 and 2025, respectively, and I bet that is even more extreme in a market like Tampa.

I own a portfolio of 35 units worth just under $4 million and I find that the analysis, projections and valuation tools DealCheck provides are sufficient for me to make investment decisions. 

Simply put, we start off with the As Repaired/Completed Value (ARV), then subtract from that number a reasonable profit, the rehab cost (scope of work), which we've gotten good at, a contingency reserve for any "unexpecteds", our cost of capital/carrying costs (interest and costs of the leverage used), and our costs/fees on the buy and sell sides of a flip.

If so what were the circumstances and what was the reasoning?

I'd like to know because if they select them as they are entered into their database, right after filing, then there is another good reason to always extend and file on the last day.

But I see no reason why this can't be done by someone like Scott, or anyone who is successful in any real estate endeavor.

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

The only reason I’m leaving Hospitable is because I need integration with Marriott Homes & Villas.

Unfortunately, this problem waste a lot of my time that could be spent on other investments.I have used the same tax professional for many years and he is very educated, but also much older than me and it's hard for me to understand all the reasons he has expressed why is better to put the rental on my personal tax returns.
