I won't honor their cr@p with a link.In this generic post, I will try to give you a basic overview of the most common EOY tax strategies, obviously without an actual discussion of each one.

Let me know if you’d like help running specific numbers or refining your negotiation strategy.AI answers can be helpful sometimes, but they miss some really important concepts.

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.

Check about the concept of "house hacking", many people start that way.

We go by a simple concept, just do what you agreed too in the contract, nothing more, nothing less - if that happens then we all win.

I basically just told them when they moved in that any drama that may arise from them sharing the house is between them and has nothing to do with me (as long as the house/people aren't being physically harmed).If you do end up renting to veterans I think your best bet to ensure everyone gets along is to just make one lease for all 4 bedrooms.

Podcasts and books are another fantastic way to get some knowledge in and help understanding the basics.

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

You want a hustler, not a top performer, if you want check-ins.I appreciate the candor and would definitely agree that my framework is all in theory until I can get a proof of concept for these out of state deals.I like your idea of pushing my boundaries in CA.

And if you’re into marketing, knowing your way around Canva or even basic social media scheduling tools would be really helpful too.Finding a gig might take a little effort, but there are so many opportunities out there.
