Regarding architect costs, there are some very interesting and accurate comments at the bottom of this link.https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/architects-and-en...

I am big into budgeting/planning/numbers and am trying to track my expected expenses as accurately as possibleI’m at a point in my life where I’m willing and excited to expend the extra energy to maximize my potential for long term wealth.

This would be my first property so I don't know if this is an accurate number.

Sometimes I’m not sure if my MAO is accurate since I’m learning the business on my own as of now.However, let’s say “hypothetically” a specific propertyARV is between $775k to $800k, asking price is $995k and repairs is estimated between $30k-35k.

From a Keynesian Beauty Contest view, I'd rank them 1,3,4/5/2 from least to most risky, keeping in mind that #3 is passive, until it isn't and that there are too many variables to accurate differentiate between #2,4,&5.

Some charge me yearly others are 3, 5 or 10 years but I can’t think of a scenario this would work me unless I inherited a $500k IRA or really wanted to manage all these accounts & fees & IRS contribution & withdrawal rules or I took on a large gamble investment for a 30 to 100% return & got into active market again like flipping houses, etc.I guess I would rather pay the IRS less than a company like Quest IRA?

Zillow is usually spot on accurate when there are lots of comps, and a crapshoot when there are few.  

I think what Lucas is saying is you’re gambling if your game plan is to have a short term rental in a community of primary residents.

The interest rate seemed low at 4.5% is that accurate? 

Ask your cpa for an accurate number and do it every year.
