Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Whether it applies or not it's always a good idea to check with a professional first so thanks for the reply.

I guess that you could call me a 'professional host'.

My passion lies in expanding my portfolio of long-term rentals and diving into property flipping as I grow in this journey.My main goals are to connect with like-minded investors and professionals, share experiences, and soak up as much knowledge as I can from this incredible community.If you’re based in Georgia or working on similar projects, I’d love to connect and hear about your journey!

My goals are to start building an investment portfolio of professionally managed (I could tell you all the reasons I will not do it myself) multi-family properties and, in time, develop a property in the Northwoods (Wisconsin/UP).

However, the tax treatment differs between short-term and long-term rentals:Short-Term Rentals (STRs): If you materially participate (work 100+ hours and more than anyone else on the property), you may be able to offset rental deductions against W-2 or other active income, offering greater tax benefits.Long-Term Rentals (LTRs): If your AGI exceeds $100K, your rental losses may be limited, unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS).If you plan to expand your rental portfolio, consider an LLC later for liability protection and easier management.

When I spoke with a real estate professional, she said the home would probably sell for around $250k in its current condition.

It has cost many people including myself a lot of unnecessary money and still is because you deal with the tax portion of opening unnecessary LLCs recommended by supposed professionals.
