That was right up until we started purchasing rentals.We have an LLC so we actually pay $400 per year for our LLC to file and then another $150 for us to have our personal taxes done. 

I'm impressed by your website by the way.

Quote from @Steven Diaz: Hello,Was going to start construction on a two story 3bd 3.5ba 1500sqft primary home and a 2bd 2.5ba 800sqft ADU.  

In January 2023, he started eviction proceedings on squatters in the home and won a judgement by default in May of 2023 and the squatters moved out.

However, i recommend newbies start in or close to their home market.  

Here’s my recommendation to get it under control: For a quick fix, start by sealing up any gaps using acoustic caulk around outlets, baseboards, or other small openings.

My thoughts were that this would be a short-term solution.However, the more I think about it, I’m starting to lean toward a cash-out refinance over 25 years, with a minimum payment structure.

Lee Arnold has helped a lot of people start or scale their real estate business.

I would recommend starting in your backyard and hone your skills if its possible, I know some markets have an extreme HCOL which may make it unfavorable in your case.
