@Tom Lafferty, after speaking with you and learning more about your strategy on this asset, I strongly believe you will be very successful with this opportunity.

Hi, I'm looking for investor-friendly CPA in Overland Park, KS area.One of my immediate questions is how my LLC (partnership with two partners) can write-off interest paid on a mortgage that I took on my name?

I had insurance prior because there is a partner that was using as primary residence.

My partner and I will be doing most of the work our selves to begin till we can hire our own crews.

As Jason said - there are a few good REIA groups here in the area that would help you grow your network and learn about the local market - so when you are ready to pull the trigger you have a better idea of the market and maybe even some investment partners to help you get there quicker.   

Additionally, I'm a part of a fast growing power team that is seeking to partner with reputable contractors interested in joining our team.

.#2 - A strong W2.

If the potential work on the basement is with in our 10k budget this could be huge thumbs up for my bizz partner and I. 

I kind of like that about our model though: we are partnered with the investors success.

They also may need some "help" getting out of their home so I've begun partnering with small business owners who have de-cluttering programs.
