Investors should:✔ Monitor Blackstone’s acquisitions – Are they buying more apartment buildings, warehouses, or single-family rentals?

A key lesson here is buying at the right price; overpaying by $15K can make a big difference.

The price-to-rent ratios are generally unfavorable, and a shortage of skilled tradespeople and reliable property management can hinder the success of buy-and-hold rental investments.

But last year, I bought a triplex in Cleveland (buy and hold) and a single-family home (SFH) in December, which I’m still waiting to rent out.I’ve spoken with a few CPAs and got different pricing:• Taxstra PLLC: $1,500 for tax prep plus ongoing tax guidance throughout the year.• Prime Corporate Services: $2,800 upfront, plus $100/month (deducted at the end of the year).Both have great reviews on Google.My question is: Am I too small at this stage to go with the more expensive option?

Later, utilizing plats, surveys and past history through the appraisal district, I was able to. determine that the seller had switched addresses between the burnt house and the house next door, attempting to mislead a buyer into thinking he's buying the undamaged house.

Quote from @Lymarie Cervoni: Looking on using Direct-Mail Marketing for Off-market properties, any recommendations on which real estate investor list to buy to target the Tampa Bay area? 

My friend has 3 rental properties there alone and when I asked him about buying more he said if he did buy it would be there.

I wouldn't recommend setting up an LLC out of state if you are buying in Tennessee unless your tax advisor is looking to help you on strategy.. but from a numbers standpoint, it really doesn't make sense when you start adding up on all of the annual LLC reporting fees from different states and then it starts cutting into your cashflow.
