In 2012 I bought a property and have been paying the taxes the property was vacant the whole time. cut up a tree that fell in 2015.

I heard in a podcast that the inventory of homes is back to pre-pandemic levels in some areas and I have noticed more price cuts in general -  but that's mostly the greedy sellers trying to list their homes for way more than the current market value of the home.

Most guru's try to create short-cuts that don't exist.

Let's assume the seller shows you T12 numbers, but they knew they were selling so cut their insurance from full coverage to minimum coverage, they stopped doing any repair that could be deferred, they have an in-house handyman that does all turns, and didn't book any expense to those.  

In 2018, I had the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of something new—I bought one of the first 9-bedroom lakeview properties in the Branson area.

@Nadir M. many PMCs post samples of the management contracts on their websites.So, you can download a bunch, sort through them and then cut & paste what works for you.You will still NEED to have an experienced real estate attorney review for final approval to make sure its compliant with state and local statutes. 

Indiana has state tax too, but far lower than Ca.Since I no longer had a day job I became REI pro and cut my income tax to a fraction of what it was.

Dont like the cut-throatness and nastiness within some offices of some of the big "boiler room" firms and some of the restrictions on territories and property types, but cant afford to sacrifice actual success if thats the type of place you gotta go through, at least at this point in life...  

Its probably because they don't want you contacting the applicant to cut them out of the deal.

In my areas if you cut down certain trees during your build you must replace them and new trees are $200+ for decent ones plus the cost of labor, that can add up.
