A very good realtor who understands finances and investments. And also an understanding of what you are looking to spend and make.

I have about 4 ish. Several more under contract

Do you find it’s a good enough investment if the rental income is even with the mortgage payment plus taxes and insurance? Or does it need to make more to be a good investment?

Has anyone used PayUSATax to pay their federal taxes with a credit card? They charge 1.96%. I think some of the credit cards will give you effectively 4%+ back. Is it worth it to use? I owe $150K so the effective fee will not be small ($3K).

I am working for a company that is out of my residential state (A) and my company is withholding taxes based on tht state (B) where my company is. I was checking with my tax consultant and he thought I would have to pay taxes based on my residential state (A) next year (which btw is a massive sum). Any1 else have the same issue or knows anything about this. I imagine with wfh today this maybe a common issue.
