@Ryan Espinosa Most CPAs are going to be busy next month or two with the tax season - this being one of the most challenging seasons - which is probably why you are having a bit of hard time.

The only exception is if it was a super small job like sub $200.We do this because he will drop almost everything to help us, and two we want a reputation with our contractors that we pay our contractors in full and in a timely manner once they have completed a quality job.We use the same folks for most jobs and they will push other jobs out of the way or come out on emergency calls.

I give myself two years for my area to appreciate a little more before we sell our assets and then just come down to visit without all the headache. 

My current focus is on expanding my portfolio by acquiring and developing a new property, but I want to ensure I'm making the smartest moves for tax efficiency, equity growth, and risk management.BackgroundI own two properties: my primary residence (Prop 2) and a long-term rental (LTR, Prop 1) that's close to being mortgage-free.

Two lenders who provide construction debt may offer the same rate and origination fee but one may be better in for-sale scenarios and the other for opportunities where the intent is to hold long term. 

Maybe do a year or two of it, learn how to flip, establish a team of your own, and then go out on your own.Either way, good luck.
