Should I just bite the bullet and hire a bookkeeper? 

I hope this will help.Should You Self-Manage or Hire a Property Manager?

I have recently been applying to jobs that teach and train real estate agents to wholesale, looks like it could a good opportunity on account that they have the capital. Im curious to see if anyone here has had experi...

I would personally invest in real estate and use depreciation to offset income.I would either be a real estate professional or have my wife qualify for REPS so the depreciation could be used to offset the bonus. 

I fired my pm who got me by purchasing the pm i had hired and lost my 1000s of reviews during covid lock downs (so 2020 and 2021 were covid impacted).  2022 had a down time that affected the year.  2023 and 2024 the entire off season was worse than before covid.  

I like to be able to decide how I want to fix things and not a contractor that I have to hire becuase the warranty company says I do. 

I hadn't really considered buying houses that need a lot of work because I have no experience with hiring contractors for large projects, but that might be the only way to get a cash flowing property here right now.

A few Facebook groups that I network in have shared that they have colleagues that hired them and were not pleased.

Me and my wife spoke to an immigration lawyer yesterday, but the answer was pretty much "hire me first"Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, hiring a lawyer might end up costing more than the process itself, especially if things don't go in your favor.I’d recommend approaching the neighbor directly to discuss it, making sure they’re aware of the serious safety risk.
