Patiently waiting and educating myself for the past year+, while saving capital to invest, I feel ready to get started in this new exciting adventure!

make yourself useful, volunteer your time to them doing some menial tasks that could save them time. 

Looks like C&C is using some type of mechanism or enforcement task force which is tracking the properties listed on Airbnb or VRBO sites, and then doing their checks if the property owner is paying taxes for "resort " zoning or not.

Good luck on your adventures!

I think the point is that the council tasked their employee to work with the citizens and she listened to both sides and spent several months putting together a very fair piece of regulation.

@Raul Velazquez Jr Everyone is different - some with an accounting background or general knowledge about accounting can handle tax prep on their own with one, maybe two properties.Others like to put systems in place and hire out right away, to free up there time to spend on more valuable tasks and actions.If the latter describes you, I would say start speaking with real estate savvy CPAs ASAP.

Think of it as a task like vacuuming your entire house.

Worked hard, pride of work (sent me photos of his tasks not to inform me of the progress but because he was proud of the job), great attention to detail, could research what he did not know (smart). 

Good luck in your REI adventures!
