As a real estate investor, taxes are one of my biggest expenses. The more I legally optimize them, the more I can reinvest into new properties, renovations, and growth.

First, I just wanted to say thank you to Ryan and his team for this amazing platform! I've been working through the content - recordings, community calls, templates, etc. SO much fantastic information and so organized! I love it❤️ I was hoping to join some of the calls today but I'm not sure if the Tax Strategy 365 Weekly Q&A calls are included in the "Light" agreement? The weekly Q&A and the Deal Calls appear to be locked on my end. If someone could clarify that for me and also briefly describe the difference between the coffee chat, weekly Q&A and the tax return client zooms, I would greatly appreciate it😊 As a newbie, I do have plenty of questions - but I also love to sit back and learn from everyone else. I always seem to learn at least one thing that I didn't know - I didn't know😉 TIA and have a wonderful weekend!!

After decades of paying Fed and high state taxes, I discovered REI and the STR strategy and have resolved to accelerate our long-term wealth for our children and future grandbabies. I felt like the "lost decades" are not coming back so we need TURBO mode. Where am I on my REI journey? My wife and I had no prior REI background. We have been learning about REI but chanced on a mentorship program for full time job holders that gave us the courage to jump in with our first STR acquisition within 3 months of completing the program in 2024. Now we are at 3 self-managing and looking for more as we are months from being empty nesters with 2 kids in college. What is my #1 challenge at this current point in time? I think I have bookkeeping handled but the discipline to keep at it every month is something I am struggling with. But my #1 challenge is touching all parts of our STR business regularly so that nothing gets neglected. Tax pre-prep gets neglected as deadlines feel far way until they smack you in the face. At this time Hours tracking to comply with STR strategy requirements is the one I struggle with most. What is the easiest tool you found? I have strugged with spreadsheets, REPS Tracker, and other thing. Im so excited to be here and learn from everyone's wisdom.
