The reality is you have to pay for services like this and be prepared to eat the cost if the deal doesn't pan out.

After voicing that I will be hiring an attorney and filing a compliant with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection all my ad spend was cut off without warning to make it look like I violating the agreement and I was also locked out of some areas CRM system.

There were several mistakes made on my tax returns that I pointed out, which required going back and forth with their tax preparers.

Beyond that, the joy of building something meaningful is priceless.3.Be prepared for isolation.

I spent months reading, browsing forums and meeting with other investors to prepare.

I actually got caught up in the creative finance bubble of trying to lock up properties way over their value just because it had creative terms not realizing that if you were to buy a property at 120% of its value you will never be able to refi or sell without paying out of pocket.

Trying to save $$ so I can prepare emergency funds in case of any major repairs etc .

If you hire someone typically they are the ones providing this information, but if someone is paying you, then yes they need this information for tax purposes.BTW - I would say your SS# has been hacked so many times and is on the black market already this is why we monitor ours through other parties or just lock it down at experian and other agencies if you are concerned about it.

You also may need to start with more capital so you are prepared for unexpected situations.
