I still do this method, even if I don't intend to have it managed.If you're keen on going the paid route for speed, you could try convincing your brokerage team to purchase STR Insights (preferred over AirDNA) for the team to use with clients.

He's got some secret method and exclusive group that you "need" access to to be successful.

We file 65% of our tax returns by April 15 (this year we will prepare about 4,200 tax returns).Not trying to brag our team up, but we approach tax return preparation very methodically to avoid the situation you describe.Quick side bar- if you are a new client, we usually charge a small fee for extensions to be applied to your tax return prep fee, but we don't collect the whole fee up front.

In my real estate business, I have been fix n flipping houses or using the BRRRR method.

I’m Cheyenne, my husband and I are just starting out on this real estate journey in the Detroit area and the plan is to begin with single family fix and flip (or use the BRRRR method starting with single family homes).

Over the last 6-7 months, I’ve been doing my best to “get smart” on real estate investing, starting off with Rich Dad principles, which led to Rich Dad Advisor (McElroy, Sutton, etc.) audiobooks, which led to BP podcasts and doing YT research on tax benefits…I’m feel ready to take action and start putting everything into practice but still not certain which method is best for my first investment property.

The houses probably aren't similar enough for the cost per SF to be very accurate at all.2. 10-25% for a year or two old pricing used to be OK, but we are seeing increases of almost 100% in a year or two, so this method will result in MAJOR budget shortfalls.

So I’ve been listening to bigger pockets a lot, and am learning that a BRRRR method is a good method for making money.
