Most tax pros have cut their teeth solely on rear facing compliance that takes what you did last year and put it on paper to report to the government vs working with you during the year to have a plan that minimizes taxes in the short term AND near term.   

You “cut your teeth” on your own property.Build your team first, I agree about having discipline, but find a Realtor, a money person, Contractors (electric, plumbers, HVAC, roofers) they work in homes daily, they may know if a deal.

I have absolutely no need whatsoever for an LLC and am very glad I don't have one because of the expense of setting it up, the ongoing filing fees and the fact that my insurance provides far more than adequate liability coverage.

NY has a built “attorney review” period where they can cancel a signed contract, I believe for no reason whatsoever. 

Certain lenders, such as RCN Capital, cannot and should not be trusted under any circumstance whatsoever.

Any advice whatsoever is appreciated... thanks everyone!

Sometimes we do things that make no financial sense whatsoever.

I just left Hawaii and didn't see any decline in housing prices whatsoever. 

Without knowing that, we could be giving you advice that's completely contradictory to your local laws.For example, in my state (California) there are no laws whatsoever that specify where security deposit funds have to be kept, what type of account they need to be kept in, how they need to be kept (separate or not), or address whether or not a tenant has a right to any earned interest on their security deposit. 

When I finally snapped a few months ago and confronted him about the endless nonsense and confusion in accomplishing simple things, he threatened to punch my teeth out for questioning his word.
