One workaround could be keeping a separate spreadsheet to track your adjusted tax basis accurately and only using Stessa for operational insights.You could also reach out to a cpa and see if they have a specific recommendation for software to use.  

We operate in the DFW, San Antonio, and Houston markets, helping investors grow their portfolios with turnkey LTR properties.

Maybe it's conjecture on my part, but I think a good agent (good being the operative word) would have encouraged you to start by offering lower and saved you more than 2.5%. 

I’m a long term rental guy, so make less than an Airbnb type operation on cash-flow .  

Unfortunately, no one is "allowing" them to operate, @Stylianos Kalamaras.

I learned from Dave, how to talk to potential investors, how to build rapport, how to answer questions and explain the company’s strategy and operations and the secondary mortgage industry.

My only concern to look out for is that things can go 'rural' pretty quickly if you start venturing outside of town, and most lenders are going to put the brakes on financing if the appraisal lists the property as 'rural' (has to do with what they perceive as the availability of future tenants).Watertown, NY - It probably is as good as you believe, but the lending licensing is pretty tricky up there, so its just  bit more difficult to find lenders that operate up there.

In our area, it is rare to find a gas station where the real estate is owned by the operator.

How about using SDIRAs not to hold assets but to operate businesses?

Don't operate under the, "we get along and can figure it out" mindset.
