Hey @Vanessa Lozano get out to some meetings and meet some people.

I do think that meeting with a tax professional could be helpful. 

Think of them more as a partner in assisting you meet your goals.

Looking forward to working and meeting everyone both local and non. 

You'll meet many of his existing students, and learn about their experiences, without a high-pressure sales pitch. 

Very often they sound robotic and scripted and does not lead to hot leads or appointments. 

This isn't totally necessary, but meeting property owners if you need to is a great way to win a deal

The city board of adjustment meeting was held today and we presented our case and explained that we made huge investments into the home to remodel and furnish it with the belief that we would be able to operate it as an STR since we had an approved permit.The Board denied my request and did not take any responsibility. 

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

While there is no official holding period, tax advisors recommend keeping the property under the trust for at least 12 months to meet the "held for investment" requirement.
