I’m sure a lot of the strategies will center around cost segregation and bonus depreciation, as well as 1031 exchanges. You could probably learn about those for free on your own. But $40 isn’t very expensive to have written material to reference.

Talk to your tax professional about their level of comfortability regarding signing a return that can have aggressive tax avoidance strategies. Haven’t read this book, but just important to do.

RSM1 - I did just that and there isn’t much more I can do, yet I owed the IRS in the double digits last tax season

I don’t understand your reply. RSM is saying make sure your accountant will sign off on the return with these strategies or else you will need someone else to do your returns. Why does double digits matter to that question?

PM1 - it’s hardly about the cost and more about the content quality, thanks

Still PM1 is probably right. Google it or chat with your accountant regarding cost segregation and 1031s if needed. Rest all is probably a bit of a money grab.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

P.S. will go through screening process for both but just want to start thinking about things now

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

How might I start to evaluate whether or not it’s worth it to keep my current primary residence and turn it into a rental, instead of selling and using the cash to roll into the next down payment for our next home? Currently in our “starter home” and thinking to upgrade in a few years. Some figures to consider for current house - 299k purchase price, 240k left on mortgage, could prob rent for 2250-2500/month, or sell for 375k. It’s in a desired school district, but in the “city” tax district.
