Feel free to reach out and I can give you intros.You are free to post self-serving comments, it is a public forum.However, please refrain from "ignore him" when you disagree with other people.Flat fee and fee-based advisors still earn commissions in addition to their fees, and in fact make the majority of their income from sales.

So, some ideas would be:* take some additional courses/webinars, etc on how to obtain appraisal business, especially private appraisal work (from attorneys, cpa's, direct from homeowners, hard-money lenders, etc).

Quick info on me that could possibly help: Licensed realtor, good credit, first rehab I’ve owned but not the first flip project completed by the GC or by myself as the realtor, strong W2 income in addition to real estate.

It may not be here tomorrow, and taxes won't matter then.That said, if you're trying to estimate your future tax benefits, keep in mind these things:- depreciation is only applicable to rentals- depreciation starts when you place the property "in service," not when you buy it- depreciation increases your deductions and consequently your tax losses, but you may or may not be able to benefit from these losses, depending on your overall tax situation- if you do have room for additional depreciation, you may be able to amplify it with cost segregation (a separate topic) 

Any insight would be appreciated!

In addition to scale beyond a certain size will require use of PM.  

It would be really helpful for any insight. 

In addition, the deals will be based on long-term rental outlook, but we are going to see how a mid-term rental strategy pans out for the higher cash flow in the short term.

Network with local realtors, investors and professionals to get advice and insights.

This would be additionally offset by the $600 in cash flow from renting my original home.
