When you work a 9-5 job, you typically rely on colleagues assigned to you.As an investor, you have the OPPORTUNITY to assemble your dream team of professionals who share your ambition and can help you achieve your financial goals.

One thing I think I would do is either hire a professional market research company and/or get a local high school or college marketing class to do market research and surveys to see if there is interest and demand. 

This is what I learned: I could not deduct interest on personal loans so I ended up paying as much in taxes as I made.

The state’s housing is also ranked as the fourth most affordable in the country.Alabama currently has the second-lowest average property tax rate in the country at 0.4%, which helps investors keep more of the money they earn.

Is it worth getting Bob Diamond's course on 'Tax Overages'?

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

You usually pay less in taxes and you build your portfolio much quicker than taking that money out. 

Being the experienced PM that you are and professionally screen your tenants on your future rbr HH, I think that you will be able to debunk (not sure if that is a word) all of the common rbr misconceptions.When Acorn decides to take on rbr pm, lets connect!

But for anyone who just has rental properties that they report on a 1040 tax return (not in a partnership), I would suggest considering rental property management software rather than general accounting software.  

Most start by analyzing deals and forget the fundamentals of every business, like getting a Tax ID, bank account later, Business Credit cards, and lines of credit.
