.: Hello everyone,I have some cash saved and I’m looking to purchase a short-term rental property in Anaheim near Disneyland.

If you can sit in a doctors office and fill out all their forms, filling out forms in QuickBooks is a piece of cake. 

As an old friend used to say, "It's not like baking a cake". 

Sometimes it can indeed add icing to the cake.

On the DSCR side, most lenders are fine with your down payment coming from an unsecured line of credit as long as it’s seasoned and clearly documented, and DSCR loans focus more on the property cash flowing than your personal income, so your W2 is just icing on the cake.

Managing from out of state is a piece of cake..... until something goes wrong and then its a huge PITA unless you have lots of local contacts that can help you arrange repairs or deal with tenant issues.I managed my TX property for 3.5 years...had a local RE agent do the placements with my approval....and it was easy until I had major water leaks in 2 bathrooms....trying to deal with contractors from CA was very difficult.

This is what we do deliver:- tax return that is compliant with the IRS requirements- tax return that includes all your income and all your legitimate expenses- tax return that presents your business in the most beneficial way- tax return that minimizes your IRS audit exposure (FYI: nobody can make a tax return completely "audit-proof")And, if your taxes are lower as a result, it's the icing on the cake.

And have dealt with diffrent companies, their lying and incompetence takes the cake.   

No worries, many people don't know this stuff at any age and some of it is just the icing on the cake anyway. 

And that sounds like nails screeching on a chalkboard to private lenders.It's the equivalent of a chef preparing a delicious chocolate cake using BROWN SHOE POLISH instead of frosting.
