4. AND FINALLY, YOU SHOULD UTILIZE THE SERVICES OF A GOOD TAX MANAGER. By tax “manager” I mean someone who’ll help you understand the tax implications of real estate investing; not merely prepare your tax return. Most people don’t have a tax manager...they have a tax preparer they see once a year on April 14th. And the tax preparer tells them how much tax they owe! That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about seeing your good tax manager throughout the year to plan ahead and manage your unique tax situation proactively. Ok, that’s it. You’ve got a good start on the basics – but there’s plenty more to learn. Investors are searching for good Realtors® who can be part of their team. If you commit to learning and improving, I’ll bet you’ll capture your share of the investment market and be fishing the entire lake in no time. I hope you catch a WHOPPER!
