@Franklin PerezGetting your real estate license can be a smart move if you want MLS access, networking opportunities, and savings on commissions, but it comes with costs and disclosure requirements.

@Yamil NafRaising $160,000 for your short-term rental (STR) venture is a great goal, and there are several ways to structure the deal to minimize your upfront costs while attracting investors.

You can expect turnover costs, losses due to vacancies, and other expenses.

By carefully managing the scope and cost of renovations, you can maximize the return on your investment.3.

Most likely trying to find a sucker to buy this and take over the costly legal battle they are entailed in.So next time someone is like "yeah just get a deed in lieu at closing", think twice about that.Actually, I use the deed in lieu.  

They are even working on getting me the evicted tenant's security deposit, the missing JANUARY rent since the place is still empty, and covering the cost of my own manager re-listing the property.

Pro tip - Home Depot has a tile from Ivy Hill that looks exactly like Zellige for a fraction of the cost.

My cost they said i could do $2,000 up front and then next couple months more payments with cold calling they offer and fee would be $9,800 plus the cold callers Virtual assisant that would be working with me.

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

A guy tries to buy a pizza in NYC and it ends up taking 5 hours, costs him something like $75, and there's like $15 in fees.Can this be fixed?
