I am on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA and we are non profit and one of the largest REIA's in the country.

My current spouse is NOT on board.

You're on a REI board, with real estate agents so take this for what it is.

So yes it is important to get a contractor on board who can give you estimates quickly it just depends on when in the process you want to get him involved.

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.

The Board of Health condemned the apartment.

Thus if you do seller financed I recommend using a mlo to originate it with an underwriter and then have it boarded at a licensed servicer. 

@Tori Roy, I can’t point you to the court records, but I remember learning that anti-trust laws prevent NAR from limiting MLS access to Realtors.I think the solution for you is a no-frills, no-desk-fee broker plus signing up for your local MLS without joining the Realtor board attached to it.I’d suggest doing a little googling, then calling your local Realtor board and inquiring (dare I say “badgering”) them about buying MLS access without joining.Good luck!

Hi everyone, if you're an STR owner in Vermont or looking to buy one in Vermont, I wanted to share that the state's Ways and Means Committee is considering imposing a new 10% tax that would be on top of the tourist room and board tax that already exists.

We currently charge less then half of that for a simple tax filing like that, but may not offer the level of advisory and guidance that this person does.
