In the meantime, I would like to gain experience through employment with an existing real estate or property management company.Is there anyone out there that can provide me with some good advice/guidance as to the best and most practical route to achieve that goal?

(I'm non confrontational)The plot has a native American burial site, which we spoke to a tribe member and gladly let them onsite for rituals and practice. 

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.

It drives me crazy when I hear these stories preventive maintenance is what should be practiced and discussing all avenues of the deal and the borrowers docs in advance.   

It’s standard practice and an essential safeguard for landlords.Trust your instincts and treat this as a non-negotiable policy.

I mean, why bother to practice what you preach?

A person who has spent his 2000 to 4000 minimum CPA practice hours doing foreign currency conversions at Deloitte for a Belgian energy company may not know the first thing about real estate or anything else.

He has a book and good, practical advice.2. 

It takes a lot of practice and sucks in the beginning, but if you stick with it long enough and keep improving it will be worth it

They can fine you for practically anything and they want all the STRs to be banned from the city.
