Already some well-known ones have paused or cancelled dividends or issued capital calls for large property tax increases, deferred capex they thought they would avoid by selling out before it hit, and so forth.

When calculating the income-to-expenses ratio (also known as the DSCR), you would want to consider your: Rental Income, Principal and Interest Mortgage Payment, Cost of Taxes, Cost of Insurance, and Cost of Management fees.

Which I’m targeting properties that have tax liens on them with the correct zoning.

Definitely don't recommend doing an early distribution and paying the taxes and penalties. 

That would need to be specifically addressed in the assignment though.Now it is common that in most real estate transactions that certain fees/expenses are paid for by the buyer (lending fees, half the escrow fee, appraisals, inspections, survey, and attorney fees for the deed of trust) and certain fees/expenses are paid by the seller (title insurance, half the escrow, prorated taxes, prorated rents, deposits, and attorney fees for the deed).Now it is common that in many wholesale transactions, the contract states that the buyer is elected to pay all closing costs.

I started flipping houses through my LLC last year and don't trust continuing to file my own taxes.

I use mint for budgeting and keeping track of my expenses, including those which are tax deductible, and find their system extremely intuitive. 

Many banks handling tax escrow accounts for mortgages have mistakenly thought there was one tax due twice/year or totally missed one of the taxes.Investors should research the SEV and the Non-Homestead property tax millage rates to project what the property taxes will be after adjustment.

When and how do we account for my expenses on my taxes?

Does anyone know if there is a specific podcast episode dedicated to this topic.... qualifying as a "Real Estate Professional" on your taxes?
