The reason for this post if to get some seasoned insight or advice that I could implement to get my best start possible as a new real estate agent in Sacramento.

A cash out refinance to implement the mortgage interest (which is deductible) will provide another expense but is certainly a cash transaction so dollars leave your pocket for that deduction.

I remember 5 or 6 years ago it was quite common before all the politicians starting implementing laws that made it tougher on companies that dealt with more than one state unless they happen to have the same laws.

John’s county is implementing a 5% “tourist tax” on all short term rentals.

For the contract stuff you should talk to a lawyer about that and someone already utilizing the strategies you are discussing, know the risks of the strategy you want to implement before moving forward and maybe try to shadow someone already doing them.Again my initial recommendation is that you put your work ethic and drive toward something with a more predictable payout, stop wasting hours working for Walmart, bring your earnings up and continue learning about this industry and then make a move for something bigger once you have a nest egg built up and have taken the time to develop enough skills to make it in whatever you decide to pursue.

The company wants to create a carbon sequestering juggernaut within the walls of new homes. https://modularhomesource.com/...

I want him to team up with my realtor who will provide feedback on what the end user in that area is looking for to figure out what can be implemented and what changes are not worth it.

Identify the problem, solve it, then identify and implement processes and systems so you don't get "surprised" in this or similar situations again.

I just rewired a fairly small 3-bedroom 1-story home, charged $21,000 and when all the tallying was done the cost for wire, metal flex, new light fixtures, 200-amp distribution panel, permits, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, plaster and stucco patching holes, sales commission, labor and overhead was about $15,000 leaving me with a $6,000 profit (30%).

The other sort of related move I made was implementing a "profit first" cash management strategy.
