Very grateful for all the advice from the community!

Another reason for using CPA's is if you run into problems, you'll have professionals who can answer to the authorities as to what went wrong so you can stay in the clear.The business I took over had a CPA.

As a first time landlord, I’m looking for some friendly advice to help get this apartment cleaned up and safe, without infringing on his privacy in excess.

Any advice on finances, purchasing a company, who I can get to help/hire, how to structure this, or any advice in general would be greatly appreciated..
