HI Kassy,Typically the costs to have a CPA be proactive are more than most clients have or are willing to spend so for the bulk of us we'll have to learn and do our own proactivity till an innovative CPA figures out how to make a nice graphical user interfaced portal where they can dish out proactive advise to the masses (cool tech idea wouldnt it be?).

If so, remember you will have to furnish the place too (pots, pans, dishes, glasses, utensils, towels, sheets, etc.).

It's like jumping into a declining stock because that 15% div. looks mighty tasty.

I would get a sturdy table and place a larger than College dorm refrigerator (but not a full size Refrigerator) on it, a small apartment size electric stove (eliminates the gas line) , place a stand up 5 shelf in the kitchen for pots and pans and dishes. 

Toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, laundry detergent, branded soap and shampoo, coffee, etc.

They are tasty treats.

All that was left were basics such as dishes, additional bedding, equipt the kitchen with utensils and cookware, etc.

Drop off some Panera bread pastries…we underestimate how much $20 worth of tasty treats will get you past a gatekeeper and you might get some serious facetime with a Tampa official who has a plethora of information and authority into permitting, zoning etc.Dumpster driving - Drive around on weekday afternoons and if you see a dumpster and construction crew working on a house see if you can find the lead or foreman on the job and introduce yourself and exchange business cards… you you be building your brand and your network of trades to provide for your investor clients.

I have DISH at both of my STRs because bandwidth is an issue.

We'll be including frig/ deep freezer in the basement/ dish wash/ stove/ microwave/ laundry wash/dryer/ water softener system.
