@Alex Del Rio welcome and congrats on Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) this brings with it a lot of tax benefits that you didn't have access to before.

Many many many traveling professionals travel solo.

At this stage I felt saving time is more important than saving money, without hiring a bookkeeper.

Lived in upstairs unit for 3 years, then rented both units out for the next 12 or so years Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Are you hiring a GC or planning to GC on your own? 

@Katy ToThe BP community welcomes real estate professionals to share experiences, mentorship, and insights.

Seek mentorship and professional advice.Good Luck!

I am looking to do a fall project on a fixer- upper to hold and rent. 1. Can anyone offer insight into whether or not I truly need a gc?
2. Also what are the best questions to ask when vetting any contractor?

Consult a tax professional for personalized guidance to ensure you maximize your deductions.
