As the title says, I'm curious to get input from some pros here how hot the market in Indy is.

If I go to one of the local tax pros in town, they'll charge around $500-$600 to do my tax return if I have mostly just W-2 income and a rental property. 

Since we work with the same pros regularly, they give us preferred rates, so even with coordination included, the owners typically pay less than they would sourcing it on their own.It’s definitely a balance — we’ve found that working with top-tier vendors while managing them like an internal division gives us the same speed and control, without the payroll, workers comp, or HR overhead.That said, I completely agree — a strong maintenance arm can absolutely increase company valuation.

Quote from @Donna Johnson: Any pros/cons for setting up rental property checking account with local bank vs. other national banks to receive income and make payments with my newly acquired out-of-state property? 

Others argue it’s a complete waste of time and money, especially if your goal is to flip properties fast using private or hard money.From my experience (and from talking to other investors), there are pros and cons to both approaches:Pros of having a license: Access to MLS and off-market listings.Can save on commission costs when buying and selling.Potential credibility boost with agents, lenders, and sellers.Cons of having a license:Time and cost to get licensed and maintain it.Paperwork, continuing education, and compliance responsibilities.Many flippers find they can build strong networks without a license, using wholesalers, hard money lenders, and private connections.Here’s the big question for the community:“Would you get a real estate license if your goal is strictly to flip houses?

So it’s important to make sure your screening process is compliant with fair housing laws and is based on objective criteria like income (including voucher amount), rental history, credit, and references.There are pros and cons to working with voucher tenants:Pros:A portion of the rent is guaranteed by the housing authority, which can help with consistent cash flow.Many tenants stay long-term, which can reduce turnover.Considerations:The unit will need to pass an inspection, and you may need to wait for approval before move-in.Rent increases, lease changes, and eviction processes often involve additional steps and coordination with the housing agency.As others have mentioned, having a consistent screening process is key.

It seems as though you may have posted at an off hour as there are usually more accountants posting, but I would encourage you to search previous CPA related posts and/or use the "build your investing team" tool above and click on "tax pros"Good luck!

Each has pros and cons, but I ultimately went with Baselane because it adds the layer of simplifying my accounting and tax prep for the year.

Wondering the pros and cons of using this setup!
