These apps use GPS to track all car trips and make them easier to categorize.

Staging is almost identical between rental listing and then restaged for sale when on market.https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6715-Kennedy-Ave-Cincinna...Or another flip we sold back in May (same stager):https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6142-Hedge-Ave-Cincinnati...And to address some of Scott's questions, staging takes a lot of furniture, accessories, monitoring current trends and styles, etc.

I understand the benefit of "check book control" but am a bit intimidated by the need for an operating document and the risk that an audit would determine a payment disallowed and my IRA standing suffer.I've bumped up my Personal Umbrella policy to a 2x multiple of my net worth and like the comfort that I have a custodian monitoring the transactions.Most of what I've read speak to the business benefits of the LLC, where you earn, spend, then tax vs. traditional earn, tax, spend and I certainly appreciate how the LLC would be beneficial outside of the IRA.I am sure I'm missing something...
