Her first business expense once she has revenues should be a CPA with small business experience in your state who can guide your personal and business tax decisions, make recommendations on accounting software, and set up a tax strategy as the llc (hopefully) grows

She needs an accountant as first thing. Googling works to an extent but at end of day a lot of people stretch the IRS definitions for business deductions. I truly believe majority of small business owners wrongly take some deductions such as vehicle expenses. Everything has to be “used to generate revenue” for it to be business deductible is the general guideline. The reason a dinner can be expensed is because it is with your client. The reason a van is deductible is because you use to deliver grocery (or Uber, etc)

Quick books Self Employed or Contractors version is good. Not very expensive but goes a long way. You can select your business expenses and they will automatically go into that category. There are all kinds of resources in the app.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

How easy is it to get a mortgage for the second home?

Received a letter from Wells Fargo today. They are offering a refinance of fixed 30 year mortgage at 3.5%. I have no idea how they can do this judging by today’s interest rates. Currently my interest rate is at 4.5%. Judging by Wells Fargo sketchy history, I don’t trust it, however has anyone else gotten this offer?
