Our taxes were not support complex and we did them ourselves (Just Schedule C and E) so I think that this is going to vastly complicate our taxes and likely require actually hiring a CPA.

I’ve never done a deal like this, and I’ve talked to two lawyers who both are over complicating it.

Trying to get multiple variances is very complicated and time consuming.

I’d offer the technique of using the VA loan to get a house to live in and move out in a year then rent it out.

However, once you have a rental property, things will get complicated really fast.

.- 30 day min rentals (the deal breaker)- In person check-ins (additional expense or at minimum a time investment)- Noise monitoring devices required (a small expense, but this one I agree with)- Max heads in beds (although reasonable at 2 adults per room)- Posting a contact number in bold for the public to see (100% need to pay for cameras and an alarm if this one passes, that sign might as well read "rob this house").I'm all for regulation, I just hope they don't "government the crap outta this" and in an attempt to control isolated incidents, make a system overly complicated and expensive, therefore no longer profitable to the small guy.

I'm just wondering if it's usually pretty straightforward and easy enough to do on my own or complicated and difficult to do correctly.

Hired a contractor to build a somewhat complicated set of outdoor stairs that lead up to the 2nd floor apartment in a duplex.

I have what some may consider to be a "complicated" return and I have "thought out" goals.

Like what many others have said, you should definitely let the pros handle the heavier work load.In my opinion flooring isn’t that complicated it’s just a process.
