We own both a mortgage company and a real estate business, we do a ton of real estate investor deals, and, personally, my wife and I have flipped or built dozens of homes.

I would recommend placing on extension and finding a local CPA with property knowledge. 

There are many different successful strategies depending on your cash, borrowing ability, rehab skills, time, local contacts, or lack of any or all of them.

Diversification of your portfolio, both geographically and by property type, can spread risk and mitigate the impact of localized economic conditions.

I'm new to investing in the Baltimore MD area and im seeking out reputable contractors and contracting companies.

Furthermore, the heat poses elevated wildfire risk, which could partly be why in two filings with the California State’s Department of Insurance on Thursday, State Farm disclosed it is seeking a 30% rate increase for homeowners, a 36% increase for condo owners and a 52% increase for renters.No matter what side of the political divide, in my near forty years on this planet I have personally noticed local and global warming.

HOWEVER, want to avoid/minimize setting up a new company and filing additional LLC and other related documents (want to avoid extra work additional docs would create). 

I run the company with 2 partners as an LLC and do not have any employees.

Here (Louisiana), I have intervened in these situations and made the repairs needed to satisfy the local municipality.

As a local, you could just keep our sleepy gold mine off the front page that would be great haha.
