But if you're filing tax return jointly, and your partner is working a lot of real estate work without a committed w-2, and can meet the REPS test (with substantiated logs and proof), then that's a different story.

I attended one about 4 years ago, just never got that involved or committed.

This allows me to become an expert on property values, title companies, and contractors in one place, eliminating the chaos.Controlling the Value: I'm no longer just finding the lead; I'm committing to owning the entire process—marketing, securing the contract, and finding the buyer—to finally capture the true value of the deals I find and, critically, make money this time.I’m starting where I failed last time, but with a new mindset: narrow focus, maximum effort.The Moral of the Story for New InvestorsIf you're starting out and considering being a bird dog, here's my painful, hard-won advice: Don't try to be a remote bird dog.

I’m under contract but haven’t processed funds or fully committed yet.

While $4k–$5k is common for STR tax accountants, you don’t necessarily need to commit to that cost right away.

Then they rushed us to make the payment and commit within 24-48 hrs.

If the LLC doesn't have a bank account or very little in the account then what I recommend is your cash offers Include the bank statements of the members of the LLC along with language in the LLC docmentation that shows the members commitment in cash to the operations of the LLC. 

(Please tell me you are living there (or lived there for a year before renting it out.) and not committing mortgage fraud.)   

For me, no triple t's...tenants, toilets and termites.
