Better not to have an impound account. Then you can control your income better. For example, I’ll probably make less money next year so I will pay both installments this year for my rental to reduce my rental income this year and have more rental income next year.
But wow for the stock market. Thought being a long term holder could be a mistake when the tech stocks took a dive last couple of months but to come back in just 2 days. Wow! Glad I’m a long term holder, taxes will be crazy high otherwise.
