Less expensive than an attorney, but requires less hands on than doing it your self.

With you self managing (I think), I would expect my numbers to be pessimistic and that you would actually do better than I estimate.

Ask about their knowledge of self directed IRA's also, if you are interested in that.

I recently decided to review the County Assessor's assessed values for all of my properties to make sure I wasn't grossly overpaying in property taxes for any of them.

They are self-employed, so I would require them to give me copies of last two tax returns, plus a 4506T form grabbed from the IRS website to verify the accuracy of the paper copies that they present.

The discrepancy here is the assessment has my $250K property valued with $100K land value..

Filing for deed cost $70.The assessed value of the property is about $50,000.Thanks in advance for all thoughts!

I could be a senior engineer working for someone else making a bunch of money and not have to go all over the place pandering for business, collecting on invoices, fretting about insurance and payroll....Seriously, if you are self employed, you are more constrained in so many ways than if you have a well defined responsibilty working for someone else.

Build a self confidence, find a job and then you'll decide.

The town it self is not that big...it would be really country if it wasnt for University of Florida, Shands Hospital and Santa Fe Community college.
