It looked like a great place, but I wasn't going to provide a boat for folks to head out there.

May folks have a retirement job that is taxed delivering pizzas. 

Every so often over the years I have taken a temp check on bitcoin with what we can assume are 99% REI folks.

There are also lots of great folks on here who can answer additional questions you may have.  

I've gotten to the point where I think it's best to have someone else handle the tax side of things - we are starting to get a little complicated, and will only get worse from here on out lol.I've previously taken care of everything myself when it was only 1 or 2 doors, operating as a sole prop, but now I have enough properties and have been doing a decent amount of reno/rehab to warrant 1099s going out and all that jazz - I figured it was time to find someone well versed who can handle such things instead.Any recomendations folks?

The second is that the folks you partner with can be a pain to deal with or a helpful asset.

@Dave Fairb I have been in touch with the HR folks at a large hospital near our apartment building; we have had doctors and nurses rent from us as a result, they have been great tenants.

I'm curious to learn how folks have structured financing when leveraging both hard money and private (family/friend) money.For example, if you have hard money that covers 80% purchase and 100% rehab, then a private (family/friend) money that covers the remaining 20% purchase as well as holding costs and initial rehab costs, what kind of rates and payment terms did you settle on for your private (family/friend) lender? 

(Please note that I have no horse in this race or financial incentive with either Bob or Jo Beth, just folks whom we've used before and still recommend.)I hope this helps.Scott  

Some of the reasons are the competitiveness of this market (wholesalers, cash buyers & Realtors all contacting the same leads) and the fact that we're in such a crazy sellers market where folks can get even more than market value for their property.
