I am starting to believe that I need to learn the tax laws myself since I have lost so much money paying unnecessary taxes because my previous CPA's are not familiar with all laws or they just plug numbers into a software (without strategizing) and then I get hit with huge tax bills that could have been legally avoided. 

This is another application of the "Who Not How" book.

If you are using strict accounting software this would be titled "cash injection" for your LLC. 

I learned a ton of information in my four years at the Colorado State University school of Veterinary Medicine, but it pales to the practical and applicable information I gained with boots on the ground working with older and more experienced veterinarians on a daily basis. 

You need to make sure that whatever laws are applicable in your state are included in your lease.

Hello All,I would like some recommendations on real estate/property management software for residential and commercial properties. 

And lenders are at end of day just statistics machines, that is the job of an underwriter, to quantify an applicant into a mathematical risk score. 

In my experience the basics for a functional RE based CRM are:Custom Fields for Data Objects (Leads, Prospects, Applications, Buildings, Units, etc...)A Screening Engine (background/credit checks, employment verification, etc)Online Rental Application (this should automatically run the application through screening)Ability to mass email/sms leads and tenants to provide informationSurveys/Inspection formsI've been building real estate CRM tools for years.

Then you get set up with this incredibly complete, user friendly REI software called epartner.

You are already entering the info - learn to use a software the right way the first time around and it becomes second nature to you just like fixing a leaky faucet.
