Jack of all trades master of none.

I was thinking I'd trade some of my cash flow for an early payment in a troubling time.

I am settled in the Knoxville area and work at the one of (if not the) largest Building Materials and Hardware Supply stores in the area and have a great knowledge of the homebuilding/repair process, as well as the handyman/construction skills to do essentially anything in terms of rehabbing.

With that being said, the market could trade flat for the next 12 months, America gets back to work sooner than later and we do not see a material pull back in values which will help support the performance.Performance of the lower LTV bridge on income properties I think will perform better.  

There are lot's of options so you need to determine your skills and passion and find a possession that suits both.

Each of those trades have different risks. 

More important than fees is your PMs communication skills and how they click with you.

The more reasonable solution since construction/trades are still able to work is to move forward.

A lot of CPAs are "jack of all trades" generalists.While the topic of this thread isn't complex, a CPA not experienced with partnership tax law may struggle.Deducting on the 1065, as your CPA suggested, is not correct (nor it is a choice).Either (a) establish an accountable plan and have the partnership timely reimburse you (and take the deduction on the 1065) OR (b) get an appropriate expense reimbursement amendment in the operating agreement (signed by all applicable members) and begin taking mileage as UPE on your 1040.

I have friends/connections in every trade so finding contractors won't be a problem.
