Hi, we just moved to the area and we recently bought a multi-family home. My husband and I both work full-time, and do freelancing as a side hustle, on top of being new landlords. We need a savvy, CPA expert to help us navigate our taxes! Any recommendations? Thanks! 

@Jake Baker and @David Sisson thanks so much for the insight. How do we go about finding the right price for the condo? Do we just look at comps? Do we look at the value of the building as a whole? Pricing condo seems very different than owning a whole property.

Hi everyone, we currently moved from WNY and live in a 2nd floor apartment of a 3 unit multi-family house on the east side of Providence (near Hope Village). We're looking to invest in real estate and it so happens, my landlord is looking to sell the unit that we're currently renting. The apartment definitely needs work - mold/mildew smell in bathroom, old kitchen appliances, old water heater, zero closet space, minor flooding in the basement, etc. It's a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,200 sqft unit at $389,000. We've bought and sold two houses before, and this would be our first time buying a condo. I'm curious about the condo market in this part of Providence. In general, is this a good BRRR investment opportunity?

We really want to stay in this part of town, but buying a multi-family or single residence home is so expensive. I'm curious if it's a better decision to look for a live-in flip or multi-family home than to buy this condo. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and expertise!
