@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

You may want to make an introduction between your CPA to those 2 colleagues.The CPA can go over their services and pricing to your colleagues.I partner with many people on real estate deals - It never gets to a discussion on whether they do their own tax return or hire a professional.If a partner mentions he will provide capital - does he provide the capital on a timely manner.If a partner mentions he will find deals - does he find many deals and provide an analysisIf a partner mentions he will manage a property - does he manage the property well(find tenants, collect rent, communicate with contractors, etc)

It separates your personal assets from your business, providing a safeguard if any legal issues arise related to tenants or the property.

We don't tend to get them when buying from a bank (because they usually won't budge on price) or wholesaler (who often provide an inspection) but do our own thorough inspection. 

It’s also worth verifying if Beaumont and Port Arthur have any specific contractor registration or insurance requirements, as local compliance can sometimes impact project timelines. 

Studies show good staging does have an impact on your sale.

This directly impacts returns for everyone.

Going to 90% is not the cheapest way forward, however.  80% will give you better rate, and 75% will really make an impact on rates.

Quote from @Malcolm Brown: My real estate agent provides listings (multi family homes).

Shared housing provides affordable, flexible rental options for young professionals, remote workers, and students.As shown above, co-living properties have more demand than traditional two-bedroom units and appeal to a wider tenant base.2.
