Always have backup subs as well, and in my case I have spent time learning all the trades so in a bind I can fill in and get it done myself if I have to.

They accept it as a cost of there decision. 

But day trading is a job at best and a nightmare at worst. 

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

@Griffin Brenseke The decision to sell vs hold a property is full of those little decisions you describe that make such a difference in cash flow.

It's been the best decision we have made. 

Here's some basic copy & paste info that may help you make better investing decisions:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Condos can be a nightmare because you’re not just buying a property—you’re buying into whatever financial mess the HOA decides to hand you.That’s why I stick with single-family homes and small multifamily properties—I control my own expenses, my own decisions, and I don’t get blindsided by ridiculous fees.At the end of the day, we’re just seeing the market shift back to something healthier.

Look at all of the costs and then all of the revenue and make a decision based on that. 

I am trying to make a decision on whether to hire Anderson or not.
