Any new taxes or tax deduction or other benefits or drawbacks that as landlords or buy and hold investors we should be award of?

I don’t see any real drawbacks to leveraging the knowledge and the network of Marshall Reddick to help me get the best possible bang for my buck in a market that makes good sense.

The most obvious drawback is that it is quite expensive.  

To the investors who have worked with VAs directly or with VA management companies...What were the drawbacks you encountered?

It does have its benefits and draw backs (just like ANY other investment).

Though a real estate license does come in handy, allowing you access to become a member of MLS, and earn commissions that can be applied to your deals, there are also drawbacks.

So while some industries like food/dining/Auto might see a short term draw back, other industries like logistics, data centers, higher education perhaps will be there to expand and pick up the slack.  3) As an investor with a property that rents for about or under average for the area, while I might see a little bit of turnover due to people's changing circumstances here in the coming months, I expect we will see what we did back in 08 and that people who go into foreclosure will still need a place to live and will turn to renting at about my rent level. 

The only "drawback" is they did it for 1/4 of the overall property since I occupy 1/4 units but it save me almost $400 in taxes!

Benefit: you can refi quickly with a hard money lender that does long term\Drawback: you are paying a high interest rate which kills cash flowSolution: refi with hard money, season it, then look for a traditional bank or Credit Union thatll give you a better interest rateThat's what I'm currently focusing on

The one drawback is that free delivery generally takes 10-15 days so you must plan your remodel/flip carefully.
