The way I see finding members for your team, whether it be your tax professional, legal, PM, and so on, is simply understanding things at enough of a level where you know when interviewing them if they understand your business.

What is your actual business plan?

Business to business non-disclosure is one thing of "buyer beware" that is sadly tolerated; business to consumer games seems less tolerable these days.

Hello friends,Does anybody who had experience with Live and Flip consider that as a business for tax purposes? 

If you were to open another bank account specifically for the rental property, it would be in your personal name unless you open an LLC and form a business account.

I have a great ISA , looking to keep her busy with convertible leads, thats a big reason I'm searching for a better lead source, even if they are 20-35% off the top;  there's barely any expired's in my market and the FSBO's are either toooo unrealistic with their pricing or if priced right they sell on their own due to lack of inventory.

We recently had a unique offer from an elderly care company to rent our home to operate their business out of.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

They've performed well, but nothing spectacular. 

Between the 2 I'd pick contractor, because its running a business and there's a shortage in CA.
