Many attorneys charge a consultation fee that will be credited to my bill if I continue to work with them but I don’t want to pay for various consultation fees unless I know for sure that I have contacted the correct attorney.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Is that correct?

Open communication is key in maintaining a positive landlord-tenant relationship, and being transparent about potential changes can help avoid misunderstandings.

I made myself take QB classes and struggled for years, my CPA said what I am doing is about 80% correct and it was a ton of work to clean up the files. 80% is not acceptable for me when it comes to IRS stuff.

Sometimes the contractor will come in and tell you a low bid, but then once they open things up tell you you need to spend more to get it corrected because that was not in the bid.

Keep in mind this doesn't account for rehab, repairs, and reserves necessary to maintain rentals.

Even though the house was originally bought with cash, this is still considered a 1st position lien, correct?

One option is ServiceLink, which provides auction services and maintains listings for properties that have been foreclosed and are now available as REO properties.

They generally don't want unpermitted issues on the books any more than you do.Better to do this ASAP and not mess with it, you want to show that you are serious about getting this corrected.
