That's what they get paid to know and be able to apply, and if you don't have a savvy CPA, then kick them to the curb and get a better one -- I've upgraded mine for the past two years and it's reducing my stress and optimizing my business.Be well,

But sometimes the point of all of this is that the opportunity can lie where the big guys are over optimized.

@Kat N.Having your property in an LLC or not does not change anything regarding depreciation or expenses deduction.It is usually tax neutral unless you add a property management Corp in the mix that can give you some more creative tax optimization strategies regarding fringe benefit, retirement and some other expenses that you would had problem deducting in your disregarded LLC.

 hiring someone to seo optimize your website is very expensive from what I have gathered so far.

I would personally start out on the major listing sites like Zillow, Trulia, etc. and really focus on optimizing your listing description, photos, and virtual tour. 

Absentee Owners with Equity have been popular for years, but that means that they might be getting multiple offers every week in their mailbox – so best to mix things up with multiple lists.You can work with a list broker to optimize your list for your area.

Your desired ROI is definitely a personal thing but most people would agree a return of 8-12% is optimal.

However, I am not confident if Hamilton might be the most optimal market for us.

There's quite a bit that overwhelmed me:Their offer is basically to set up a lead gen site for us, optimized for SEO etc, they've just offered to write blog posts once a week for seo, set up all of our social media profiles and manage them - Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Slideshare etc, create white papers for us, set up landing pages for all our ads, organize retargetting ads to "stalk people around the web" in their words, set up mailchimp mailing system with branded email templates and create a autorespondor to educate our buyer over time.....It all seems to be online stuff.What they're offering seems like it would take me a hell of a lot of time and if I outsourced it, probably the same amount of money.

It's real life for them, not a math optimization problem.
