Please keep me honest. Do I need a specialized RE tax planner? Context: have 2 SFH as LTR and intending to acquire a STR. HHI is ~$285K. Think there’s got to be some benefit in leveraging a solid tax pro to minimize taxes but getting quotes ranging $350-$1000/ session with some packaging year round advise for $5K (which seems excessive but I’m not sure). Wife and I plan to retain our W2’s. Any experienced folks willing to opine? Current CPA is adequate but unsure if we need specialization.

I am so tired of being treated like an assistant and I’m at a loss on how to correct it. My coworkers are generally nice, but while I watch white (usually male) associates at my level or even more junior get substantive work, I’m still receiving administrative tasks as a mid-level. Appreciate any advice.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I’m planning on getting my real estate license this spring! My biggest hesitation is that I currently live downtown Chicago and do not own a car. I really do not want to buy or lease a car as the area I live in requires a garage spot to park. Is it realistic to believe that I can be a real estate agent in Chicago if I rely on Uber/CTA?!
