That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

I'm so glad you brought up trash, totally slipped my mind in my eval.

Knowing your long-term plans can help you build a long-term financing strategy so that you are not just worried about purchase number 4, but also purchases 5 - 20+ (if you plan to continue to invest).I'm an investor and licensed mortgage broker.

Of course, you need to choose your areas and decor wisely, so I recommend working with someone experienced who knows what the clients there are looking for.

I actually had your underlying question in mind.  

Be mindful of recapture tax when selling but consider long-term strategies like a 1031 exchange.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

What are things I need to know with this kind of loan?
