On a separate issue, I had to call AZ DOR business line yesterday.  

Failure to pay by April 18 penalty will run you 0.5% for IRS, and double that, 1% for the Mass DOR. 

Go dor it.

From watching the market the last few years I've come to concluded that most multi-family (3-4units) here are in D or worse areas of the valley (maybe you don't mind that). 

If you are looking for passive investors, you will need to do a Reg D or Reg CF or Reg A or Reg A+ raise and follow the SEC laws.There is a lot of information on BP about fund raising but it is always more challenging than it sounds, especially the first time around.

Also, if I hire only 1099 employees like VA’s or an accountant for keeping my books, do I need to register my LLC on Form 2643 with the DOR in Missouri? 

You must get SEC exemption in order to pool capital from passive investors, which is why you see REgulation D or 506b or 506c references in these cases. 

@Mary JoeI agree with what Dor said, you can’t really compare Astoria to Bushwick or Bedstuy, it is more like the Bay Ridge of Queens.

@Dor Sagi Are you looking for properties with a rehab element to them?

The balance is completed by our vendors but the balance ends up being larger jobs or specialty jobs such as roof replacement, appliance delivery, sewer replacement, etc...We have alot of C&D or lower income which is 3.3 to 1 work order ratio.For us, we have always struggled to get quality new techs so we have focused on keeping the good ones we have happy, removing lack luster ones, and always trying to pay a little above market.
