I have been involved in real estate my whole life, watching my dad do it himself and now it is my turn.

Excited to finally jump in here after learning from the platform for a while.I’m based in Ohio and have been involved in real estate for several years, working on long-term rentals and short-term rental projects.

On to the next property where I will be A LOT MORE INVOLVED. 

Since you already know how to position properties to renters on Facebook Marketplace, you could apply that same creativity toward listing strategy and social buzz around flips.If you’re looking to get involved hands-on, you might consider:Partnering with a local flipper to help market one of their projects (great way to learn the numbers and process without taking all the risk).Sitting in on open houses and noting what questions buyers ask most often — it’ll give you insight into what features matter in your market.Starting small by networking with wholesalers and rehabbers in Denver so you can see what types of properties are moving and why.Flipping has a steep learning curve, but with your background in marketing, you’re already ahead in one of the toughest parts: getting eyes on the property when it’s ready to sell.Looking forward to seeing how you dive into this side of the business!

I am not a RE professional in the tax laws eyes because I am part time.

The air filter replacement is the most crucial part because it forces me, as the landlord, to have eyes on the interior of the property quarterly to confirm they are taking care of things.The goal isn't to nickel and dime them; the main thing is you don't want them to avoid calling you for the minor things that could turn into major problems.

I'm mostly involved as others have stated here with retail.

The additional inspection is modest and I never mind another set of eyes on potential liability and problems.

I was looking into DST's and was mindblown by the fees that were involved in those offerings.

On finding help, I’d  keep an eye out for the CPAs active in Biggerpockets with proven real estate experience, or search for phrases like “short-term rental CPA,” “Airbnb tax CPA,” or “real estate investor CPA”and then filter by folks who talk specifically about STR material participation and cost seg in their content.
