Hi @Eric Bate.I've interviewed a local CPA (Plymouth, MN) and will be using his services for my 2017 taxes.

Money Mustache, Dough Roller, Money for the Rest of Us. 

The challenge is figuring out which ones work for your targets.These days you can get an MLS listing with minimal (read none) service which is still the 800 pound gorilla for retail real estate when selling or leasing.

Studied like crazy and right out the gate...smh...I actually love it though, great lessons and hopefully this misstep will help the thought process throughout the rest of the Flip!

If a person needs to use a TK service...

She couldn't believe how smooth everything went and when we asked her if she pleased with our service she said yes and became emotional I can't believe how easy this was she said.

There are also services that allow you to list your property in the MLS for a relatively low amount .

You only depreciate assets based on their value when you place them into service.

@Aaron PetersonI moved your thread to the landlords forum.Snow removal ... it will be here before you know it ... .I've already put our RFQ as we were not happy with our service in one city last winter.In our experience, when it comes to landscaping/lawncare and snow removal, anytime you cannot define where one tenant's domain ends and another begins, the obligation falls to the landlord.If you have a side-by-side duplex or a row of townhouses where each tenant has their own drive and patch of green, you can hand-off snow removal and lawn care to the tenant ... though you are just as often better served to take care of it yourself and bake it into the rent.Anytime you have stacked units or a block (such as a small purposely built quadruplex), the parking and green space are common areas (just like stairwells in the interior) and fall to the landlord.

The tenant can legally remain in the property for the rest of their lease and the fact that you have a mortgage listing the property as your primary residence has no bearing on their tenancy in our state.
