AND I missed the tax appeals deadline for my county.This one hurts and I am definitely going to have to bite the bullet on this one.

It definitely took more than planned to get started.

When it comes to taxes, both Enrolled Agents (EAs) and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) can definitely help you out and are interchangeable.

I recommend AirDNA subscription for picking and evaluating both markets and individual properties, a little pricy, but if you are taking the investing seriously and with a long-time horizon, definitely worth it in my opinion

Thank you for that AND the W/D are definitely going to be shared by two units so that is not an option here.

As far as I understand insurance protects you from different things.. and yes, we are definitely getting good insurance (umbrella policy for just one property?)

Definitely a screening issue.

While there are definitely house hacks that have allowed owners to live for free and show positive cash flow the current interest rates and prices make those less common.

I definitely recommend that you seek out a Certified Cost Segregation Professional so that you are confident in the quality of the work performed and the deliverables produced.

If I were you (and you meet the items listed above), I would definitely still move forward with licensing since you already have the property.
