If you own a business, now is the time to get ahead of key deadlines to avoid IRS penalties and maximize deductions.📅 March 2025 Tax Deadlines:✔️ March 17 – S-Corp (1120-S) & Partnership (1065) tax returns due (if not filing an extension).✔️ March 21 – BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) Reporting Deadline – New requirement for many businesses.✔️ March 31 – Final deadline to correct & e-file 1099 forms before penalties increase.💰 Tax Deductions Business Owners Shouldn’t Overlook:🏠 Home Office Deduction – If you use a part of your home exclusively and regularly for business, you can deduct a portion of rent, mortgage, utilities, and internet.

I can't say what's best for you, but I can tell you what I did for my first house.

My ideal time to have an appraisal complete is post renovation of the house, but BEFORE the tenant moves in.

My first deal was 5% down house hack on a 4 unit and then I used equity from that first deal to do 2 more deals once with a cash out refi and once with heloc.
