Looking for RE savvy CPAs who can offer good guidance around RE investing decisions from a tax perspective and optimizing deductions while preparing tax returns.

If you are looking to optimize cash flow, I'd think that even though the recently redone was done poorly will still rent for more.

I suspect Sacramento is not close to being out of Bay Area people with 20% down moving to the area and looking to optimize by buying a multi (guess how I'd know...). 

Obviously a very rural location is not optimal.

The service also includes a simulation tool to backtest and optimize each portfolio.

This will optimize your cash-flow and minimize your taxes.

Good cleaners tend to know good handyman, which tend to know good plumbers, electricians, etc.Also you can learn from books like Optimize Your Airbnb by Daniel Rusteen, but you’ll learn more by diving into your first property.

I've been paying 2 points origination, and 10% interest (plus 895 doc fee) on every flip I complete with my hard money lender, which isn't terrible, and he's super easy to work with, but trying to optimize my business as best as I can and I know private money has to be the next step for funding.I know of some friends who are getting 10% interest, no origination, AND all interest paid on the back end closing, which seems insanely good.

Your time and effort are best concentrated on either finding more properties or optimizing your current house hack. 

You can optimize for occupancy, revenue, or top dollar.
