@Joshua ChristensenI agree with you that brokers are not experts in zoning, but this broker should have told his client to go to the zoning department to verify.

"The man who represents himself has a fool for a client" was said about attorneys, but it could be said about a new investor representing himself in a sales transaction.

I once made the mistake of chasing multiple listings at once, which turned into a disaster.When I shifted my focus to serving one client at a time with honesty, integrity, and accountability, referrals started coming in without any marketing.

For larger properties, some of our clients run another cost segregation study at the time of sale.2) Partial Dispositions - Taxpayers can carve out and dispose of components removed or demolished from a building.

Somewhat unrelated, but I do not allow BiggerPockets to do business with partners who require their clients to sign agreements or otherwise agree to terms that prevent them from leaving what they feel to be honest reviews on BiggerPockets.

Unfortunately, we get too many calls from clients that got the run around, poor communication and service and/or were the victims of a "bait and switch". 

I personally like the buy-and-hold strategy and we help clients who share this long-term, wealth building mindset. 

I lend in 45 states and meet almost none of my clients since covid.

See theolivejar(dot)co for her website.She is an LA-based STR designer who has helped a lot of clients get to the level they need to.
