Both deals were taken from the front page of Dave Van Horn’s website.

I've been browsing BP for months now and reading up on a lot of aspects of RE investing and I just want to say this website is full of great info and people that really enjoy helping and I thank you for that!

I just was amazed to find no record of this "Business Tax" beings the county website says they will impose "substantial penalties" for not having this receipt.

That is one of the most important tasks in the rental business IMO; much of everything else can be outsourced with less trouble (like repairs for example).Lastly, if you use an agent, often they will just use the "standard agent lease form" for the state you are in.

Steve Might,Yes, you can go to the assessor's website and base it from the percentage.

New to the BP website though!

My blog/website is about long distance self management, landlording, investing in class A investments, investing in a transient lifestyle, etc.Good Luck !

I looked at a few local investor club websites to see what they're about, but nothing more yet.

My approach has been and will continue to be a buy and hold strategy spanning core and value added investment approaches.I found BP through Brandon's website Real Estate In Your Twenties (great site Brandon), which I visited while searching for REI book reviews.I'm looking forward to contributing to the community and tapping the wealth of knowledge offered up on the site.Paul
