I'd love to hear your experience in Charlotte and any pointers you have on the area, and I'd be happy to talk through rental property strategy, as that's been my main focus in what I've been studying and networking with people about. 

I am considering opening a business account at JP Morgan for all income + expenses, and simply use baselane for rent collection + higher APR on security deposits, etc.

Which means your RE is more of a full time job/business rather than a (passive) investment. 

I haven’t been shy about my disdain for many Realtors in this business.

Who studies the law to ensure you aren't in violation?

The number of mom & pop landlords leaving the business soared during and shortly after this time.

Nobody from the Mexican government to local businesses to foreign investors to drug cartels has any interest whatsoever in killing the golden goose so we should expect they'll do whatever is in their power to avoid that violence gets out of control and threatens tourism.

I formed my business as a LLC in November 2022 my accountant then formed an S-Corp with the same business name in march 2023 NY state back dated my S-Corp to November 2022 I didn't know I needed to open a new bank account with my new S-Corp tax ID #.

I am a long time user of YNAB (You Need A Budget), so I will be creating my first business budget and I am excited!

Tried calling the local CPA's that are "experts" at 1031s, but they aren't responding because it's busy tax season...I'll dig in deeper with tax people if it's a possibility, but wanted to throw it out there to this community first.Any insights are much appreciated!
