Easy to get someone on the phone, which is a big one for me and something I am willing to pay a reasonable premium for.

Ever since the BP app came out I've been reading on my phone.

You can deduct all realistic business expenses, including mileage, meals, allocated cell phone use for business purposes, home office space, etc whether you own the flip in an LLC or personally.
