I am experienced in the real estate processes and could navigate everything fine.

.- These tend to be "assassin" type shops who are small teams of pretty elite operators, and they aren't bloated down with BS like the big CRBE's etc of the world, so you'll get exposed to more, you'll get exposed sooner, and they will generally be ideally with a niche industry or product type but will often have a ton of satellite deals they get which will get you cross industry exposure. 

I have absolutely no idea how to navigate this situation.

Easier to navigate with a tablet or a computer.

I would check into a few things to see what your best approach is.1) Find a great investor-friendly real estate agent (specifically one that knows STRs) to help navigate an area you may be looking in.

Hi Keri,I've navigated this several times over my 20 years in the field, both for myself and for clients.

This said, there are good people too that understand the challenges of the process and help investors navigate these waters.

Navigating the zoning requirements, dealing with Maryland Historical Trust limitations on what can and can’t be done to the property, and the financial burden of renovating the property to meet these standards have left us trying to figure out the best strategy so the property doesn’t just sit unused.If we decide to sell, we anticipate pricing it at around $70-$80 per square foot, which is an incredible deal for a property of this nature.We’re reaching out to see if anyone here might know of potential buyers interested in this unique opportunity.

Given the complexity and potential tax-saving opportunities in real estate, it's wise to consider hiring a CPA with expertise in this field.Many clients who work with non-specialists find that their non-real estate preparers lack the specific knowledge to help them minimize taxes through strategies like depreciation, the de minimis safe harbor, partial asset dispositions, 1031 exchanges, navigating real estate professional status, the short-term rental loophole, and more.If you are looking to qualify as a real estate professional, use the short-term rental strategy, or complete a 1031 exchange, I would without a doubt recommend working with a real estate CPA.

These roles are crucial for navigating the investment process and ensuring your property is well-managed.
