Why we build the same floorplan over and over again:1) Easier for Trades and Faster Build Times: Our trades have been working on the same layouts repeatedly, so they have become more efficient.2) Less Mental Space for Decisions: We don’t spend too much time deciding on which floorplan to build, we focus our time on growing the business and serving our customers.3) Best ROI based on Square Footage: The floorplan we build gives us the best return on investment.

Additionally, do people have recommendation on efficient ways to screen a tenant upon application? 

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

I believe that in order to efficiently do tax prep then we need to be doing tax planning as well.Yes on the cost seg piece (for the most part).

I tend to get hung up on optimizing my return on equity and using low-interest leverage to build wealth as efficiently as possible, but there's also something to be said for the peace of mind factor as well, as others have stated, or in your case the opportunity cost of distracting you from your job. 

If your hvac contractor tries to sell you a new furnace by telling you it’s more efficient and over one you may save money via energy savings, less repairs, etc that’s fair.

I dont mind getting my hands dirty and doing the work myself but thats not an efficient use of my time.How can I start finding a crew to do rehabs for me or how can I get connected with builders/contractors to work with?

There are a lot of calculators and resources here in BP that I think can help. 2) How can you do this most tax-efficiently and 3) Does it make sense for your lifestyle.

But seems efficient to go with a 12 unit or 2 six unit buildings.
