I've also talked to contractors and construction management companies so you get a sense of how much your capital expenses and repairs will be. 

Nor should they, because you're being paid to get it all right, every time, without exception. 

Interest rates, insurance hikes, rise in real estate taxes, eviction delays, rising expenses and delinquency are just a few problems investors are encountering.

She paid rent till February using one of the rent collection platform that I have been using.

As a general who does a remodel project for a seller but the arrangement is to get paid at closing.

They took into consideration the amount of rent I've paid and the maintenance I've done over the last 8 years which was awesome of them to do.

This allows for 45% of the effective rent to be spent on all your expenses (taxes, insurance, management, common area utilities, etc. - but not your mortgage payment), and gives you the net operating income (NOI).

Is there any way around the tax lien being paid upfront when selling a property?

I mean once you talk to them, it's pretty easy to spot if they know what they are talking about.I've work on STRs before and to be honest, it is not the most fun aspect of accounting because the volume of allocating income from all sources (airbnb, vrbo, stripe, direct booking, and so on) to a bunch of random expenses (cleaning, supplies, repairs, advertising, commissions, and all typical real estate expenses).I had to strictly rely on the client's input on what the expenses belong to which property or even units, if the paperwork doesn't say.
