EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

He is leading his 2nd rehab and it is taking longer than I would take (but I have done it many times).  

I do sole prop schedule C, as it turns out (for me) all the doing around with corps, filings and liabilities I was just wasting time and money.

Don’t have the time to do property management right now however as I have a full time W2 (accredited investor) and a family to raise.
