The presentable model along with a team of experts (like a broker) also makes your business more financially appealing to investors.

Also, thank you all for your insightful opinions.

I have hired a CPA firm, but was told the remaining questions I have are for Payroll processors or HR experts and not CPAs.My wife is the sole-owner of the S-Corp, but will also be the sole employee (as she has to pay herself a reasonable salary prior to K-1 profit distribution). 

😫Thanks for your insights!

Perhaps @Ray Lai might have some insight.

Thanks so much for the insight guys, I really appreciate it!

I know, it has to cash flow, but curious if anyone has any insight into:* How to estimate insurance costs (flood, windstorm, and standard)* How to best verify a property condition (considering the location)* How to know good areas (some homes have been abandoned for years next to new builds, quality can be street by street)* General tips or recommendations for what to look for, or look out for

Any insight will help.

I use info from these sites as a general gauge / starting point and combine with insights from my realtor.As I mentioned in my original post, I chuckle because my realtor seems to hate them with a passion and not trust anything they have to say.

I am not the expert that others are but my thoughts- young sponsor never been through a downturn.
