The house I'm buying will be used as a long term rental.

It could be any side-hustle you want just as long as you like it and your able to save some extra $$$. 2.

I’ve got a single family townhouse long term rental.

When interest rates go down, there will be 5 million more buyers into the market and prices will go up so buying with rates now is not a detriment as long as they come down at some point and you can refinance, but you should be looking for something that makes sense at these rates.

My intention is not to boast but to inspire and share the significant impact that BiggerPockets, especially Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner, have had on my life.I first encountered BiggerPockets at 23 while enduring long 14+ hour days as a pipe fitter on hydroelectric dams in northern Manitoba, working 21 days on and 5 days off shift schedules.Although I was earning well for my age and educational background (I barely graduated high school), the job was unfulfilling and almost toxic, mainly because of the dynamics with the associates in the industry.

Adam: I am unaffiliated with Curbio, but very familiar with them, as our company, Purgula, has written about their offerings to help educate homeowners and agents.Regarding how fast they are, I would ask how long their typical engagement is by budget size.

They also claim that their property management fee is 10%, which is true as long as the unit is occupied, but if you factor in the first month rent payment for placing a tenant and a 5% vacancy rate (about once every two years) then the property management fee is closer to 15%. 

It seems PMs don't make a ton of money for all that they do and their incentives don't always line up with investor's incentives (i.e. getting paid more for turnover in terms of tenants when I'd prefer no turnover or vacancy).Sorry for the long intro, but having said that, I have a few questions...   

He said we were friends, wanted referrals, told us that we are very particular, and asked to take photos of our home when he was done.The four weeks has turned into three months and a long delay in getting us the final bill.

If you don't have a tax professional already that you can trust and rely on to dive into the weeds on this stuff with, that is most critical to your long-term success in using the tax code to your advantage.
