He ask us why we didn't go thru his bank, and it would be simpler because of the business relations.

While they are relatively new, it was free for me to sign-up and try out, so I decided to give them a try.It has been great thus far, considering it is the first time that i'm using a software to help me manage.

Unfortunately if you just look at the data in their web interface, the CC processing or related fee is not reflected. 

Bought it for $180k 5 years ago as a buy and hold.Developers are putting $400-600k homes on tear-down properties all around it.I looked at tearing down and putting a 4-plex on the lot...not allowed per code.I looked at tearing it down and doing a duplex...after all costs and penalty of interrupted cash flow...bad move.I looked at tearing down and putting two single family homes...bad cash-flow move.It just seems that with a lot so large relative to the size of the home is in such a hot/in-demand area, i should be able to get more cash flow.

If your goal is to maximize your retirement plan contributions with a SEP, then keeping things as a basic LLC might be better.If you're really concerned about keeping your brokerage and your personal commissions separate, then two separate entities, possibly either 2 S-Corps or a nested S-Corp/LLC structure might be best.So when tax season is over, sit down with your CPA and outline your goals and your issues and see what they recommend.Now if what you've got is a data entry/"tax preparer" who simply enters your data into tax forms, consider switching providers.
